[mythtv] Best IDE to browse code

I'm using Eclipse (including QT support :) ). It spanks any other IDE (both
free and commercial) at least for my needs, as there is always a plugin just
doing the task I want it to do...
Better have a very good machine though, or else you'll get old just waiting
for Eclipse to start. By good I mean a t least a dual core with 2 GBRam. And
yes, I prefer to compile from command line (not from within Eclipse) as the
full compile time gets down from around one hour to less than 25 minutes :).
BR.
