Basic programming for Linux

[kiwipenguin]

Could someone recommend a good basic IDE for Linux. I've used VB 6 in Windows before, and found in quite useful to throw something together quickly. Is there something of similar power and ease for Linux. XBasic was suggested to me, but I've heard negative things from people about that one too.

This is the only place I've found, but I doubt very much it'd match the RAD capabilities of VB.

I highly suggest you look in to python. (sorry!) You can create gui apps easily enough using either glade (a gtk interface designer) or qt-designer (a qt interface designer), and you can use them with python.. Trust me, if you get into python, you'll wonder why you ever used VB. (Sorry, had to do it :) )
