There's no official IDE... I believe most of the primary developers just 
use a text editor and an xterm; I know I do.  You're free to use an IDE 
you'd like, but I'm afraid you're probably out of luck when it comes to 
GUI design.  Qt has a nice GUI RAD tool in Qt Designer, but since Myth 
has so many custom UI classes, it would be of little use (unless 
somebody wanted to develop custom Myth widget plugins for Designer... I 
have some experience with this; it would require quite a bit of work 
for relatively little benefit).

KDevelop & anjuta seem to be the popular IDEs for KDE & GNOME, 
respectively.
