Hi Brian,

> What does everyone recommend as an IDE for Haiku?

I know of Niue, Paladin and and Sisong. I'm sure HaikuWare lists more.
Out of these three, Paladin is closest to the BeIDE, but you might
want to try out all three to see what works for you. If you don't
already have the developer tools (GCC and friends), get them from
http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/Downloads. Alternatively, you can
get them from http://www.haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages,
although I believe HaikuPorts might have a newer build.

That said, most developers seem to prefer a text editor and a Terminal
window. GVim and Pe are the most popular choices. There's also an
XEmacs port somewhere.

The two major changes are the LocaleKit (see PulkoMandy's blog at
http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/2080) and the layout API
(http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/laying_it_all_out_part_1).
Everything else in the BeBook still works as it used to in the BeOS.
