What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI haven't tried any of the 'full' IDE's listed yet. I have Eclipse set up for C/C++, maybe I will give it a shot at some point. I've heard of the XCode version as well, but again, haven't tried it.
That said, I have found ST + the Stino plugin[1] to be great for my arduino projects. A good linter setup and gdb gives most of what I am looking for. The convenience of debugging with an IDE that auto-populates watches based on context is nice, but rarely are these projects sizeable enough (for me) to need serious debugging.
Using Stino + ST (and turning off the Arduino code munging) gives a typical GCC compilation which requires everything you'd expect of a GCC compilation (proper declarations, prototypes, scoping, etc).
I can understand why forsaking function prototypes and adding type aliases (such as 'boolean' usable for declarations i

n addition to 'bool') might make it easier for newcomers to learn to write 'sketches. But I am not sure it's great in the long run. So much of the Arduino code out there is poorly written, including some of the libraries I commonly see floating around. And coming from me (who is far from part of the greybeard C/C++ master engineer cohort), that says a lot.
I think that the Arduino platform would likely benefit from a more natively supported 'second step' development environment that encouraged better program organization and DRYness. I can't even count the number of arduino 'sketches' I have seen out there that are a mess of static global const variables declared in 2000+ lines of completely spaghetti'd code.
Of course, I think it's great Arduino is becoming so popular, I just wouldn't mind seeing some nicer tools/educational resources for those new to it.

The only thing holding me back from upgrading is the next version of Stino: https://github.com/Robot-Will/Stino
Current version is ST2-only.
