I've actually played with Anjuta in search of a replacement for glimmer
(project now defunct).  It is nice,  but HEAVILY oriented towards C/C++
as well as having a complicated release structure.  I was looking for
soemthing that could work with PHP, Java, C/C++, and the Mono languages
(C#, Mono Basic, etc..),  so I went with eclipse which still seems to
have all the C/C++ features that Anjuta offered.

That does sound cool, the version I tried didn't have anything like
that.
