Dev-Cpp was really nice but I haven't seen any updates for a while.  It's 
actually using mingw as a compiler, which I'm quite fond of.
Alternatively there is Code::Blocks, which is still being actively developed.

Still, no matter how many environments I use, I always wind up going back to 
nano and a makefile for C/C++.  Believe it or not, it's actually a pretty 
reliable cross-platform setup.
