Try LibreOffice instead. It's pretty much the exact same thing, but with better updates.

I don't use any IDEs, I'm a gedit user. But if you want an IDE for C#, C and C++ try Mono (although I can't make Mono work for C++ with wxWidgets, it's still good).

What about DCS SDK? I guess that's important too.

It does. It's called "Text Editor" in Ubuntu, but it's preconfigured for non-coders, apparently. Before you use it go to Edit > Preferences and change everything to what you want, and it'll be more useful to you.

And TilEm is important too :D

I'd suggest you use the script to get it. I attached it to my post. amke sure you read through where it says what dependencies you need. You need a lot of dev packages.

when you've installed all the dependencies then open the terminal in the directory you saved the script in and run $ sudo ./install_tilp.sh

I prefer KOffice over libreoffice and openoffice.
You should get TiLP for sure, and I would also recommend rythmbox if you have an iPod and want to be able to manage your music.

There should be a poll on that somewhere.

Linux Mint 11 is taking LibreOffice over OpenOffice by default now
