I use Netbeans (for these + for Ruby/JRuby), and drop into gvim for any
complex editing. I use my own install of v6.7, instead of the version in
the repos; Python support is improving with each release.

It's very good for Java dev, but Netbeans has caught up in most areas in
the last year or so. I no longer use it, because I do less Java dev; I
use JRuby and include any Java I might need instead.

Slow! It runs great on any dual core ;-) I use it a lot on a low power
laptop and, last week, on an ancient Sempron <?>; works fine. Most of
these tools bog down with less than 2Gb; taking into account the other
stuff you'll be running simultaneously.

What GUI dev are you doing? Netbeans is great for Java gui dev - as
you'd expect. I us this for JRuby gui dev via the monkybars gem; very
neat.

There's an Ubuntu bug messing with CherryPy, which is a nuisance for
python gui dev.

Haven't tried the gtk stuff with PHP, but the web server integration
makes web-site testing very simple.
