While I haven't been using DJGPP for very long, being an old unix-head,
I tend to want a vi-like editor wherever possible. My current favorite
is Elvis 2.0(beta).

Among many other useful features, Elvis 2.0 can launch either a compiler,
or make, and can parse the resulting error messages and take your cursor
to the line named in the error message. 

This capability is controlled by some option settings in Elvis. To cause
Elvis to do this when compiling in DOS with DJGPP, you would give it
the following command:

	se ccprg="gcc -c -O ($1?$1:$2)"

thereafter, when you save the current .c file (by doing :w), you can
subsequently type:
	
	:cc

and it will spawn gcc on the current file, and if errors/warnings occur
the cursor will go to the line of the first one. You can go to the 
subsequent lines by using the :errlist command.

But I must admit that vi is an acquired taste, and if you haven't
acquired it you won't want to try it this way.

But you DID ask what we use! :-}
