IDE recommendations

I am wanting to get back into programming, and I am 
_somewhat_ familiar with C++ (trial version of Borland's 
C++ Builder IDE, compliments of Sam's Publishing).  

Being that I no longer use Windos (and not really interested 
in the Wine project), what would be some recommended IDEs 
to learn/relearn with?

If it matters, I'm running FBSD 4.10 and I don't plan on 
upgrading to 5.x on this box (Perhaps when I get another 
machine, but that's another story).

What _does_ matter to me is the bells-and-whistles type of 
environments/applications (What can I say...  The gravy 
helps them taters go down.  :) ).  That said, I have both 
the KDE and GNOME environments installed.

I'm also interested in IDEs for Python, Perl, Ruby and Java.  
Of course I'm going to start with one at a time, but I'm 
interested in what people's recommendations are on the IDEs 
in the ports.

So, what say ye?

Thanks,

Mike
