I use QT Creator and really like it. Since QT has its own internal compiler for all its MOC stuff, its C++ parsing is spot on, and IDE operations like "Find all uses of this function" and "Jump to declaration" are pretty darn perfect (I can't remember getting a false match - even when dozens of functions are named the same thing, classes have complex inheritance, etc). Templates confuse it occasionally, but templates confuse everything/everyone, so meh :-).
Happy coding! The MAME source tree is pretty well organized and really easy to follow if you stick with it. /Andrew
