You are better off playing around with Netbeans, kdevelop or sublime text. Eclipse is a complete nightmare and geany is... ok-ish. Personally, I recommend netbeans for the full IDE experience or sublime for those who want a minimalist editor that has a lot of neat features for rapid application development. I jump between the two, depending on the situation.

Both are cross platform.

Best regards,
