Ubuntu: What is a good IDE for C++ and C#?

That subject says it all.

I have heard that Eclipse and NetBeans are good for programming in C++, and possibly C#, along with Java.

Any thoughts, comments, or alternative IDE suggestions?

In my computer science class my professor made us use a text editor such as jmacs, emacs, or vim and then compile the program in the command line. This requirement definitely helped me out in the long run because it forced me to think like the compiler and what is happening in memory since we did not have a debugging tool. I don't know how proficient you are in your programming skill but this is something to consider :). Visual Studio is pretty good though!
