Simple C compiler advice?

Rumor has it that Jason McBrien may have mentioned these words:

I liked the GWD editor so much, I bought it. It's got some very nice
features for programmers of C/Perl/HTML/PHP/Whatever... not too expensive,
either.

What I've been looking for is a decent, fairly simple windowing environment
(text boxes, menus & a couple buttons is all I need...) to run under
Winders and/or Linux -- that works with C. [ IMHO, C's a PITA, but it
works... every 'derivitave' work I've read about / learned about, makes me
long for Basic09... ] V-IDE says it comes with GUI-stuff, but on their
webpage it says that it's for C++. :-(

Otherwise, I recommend the cygwin tools - this gives you a subset of the
GNU *nix tools to use on your Win32 box -- bash, grep, diff, PostgreSQL,
TeX, etc... Very handy to have - especially when you wanna do a bit'o bash
scripting. ;-)

Laterz,
