I've noticed nowadays, that it is common that I have 3 IDEs running (Usually 2 Eclipse, and 1 NetBeans). It is partly because of features I like in one, but absent in the other, or simply because I am just not patient enough to wait for Eclipse to switch workspaces, so when I work on different versions (develop in the head and patching a branch), I just simply open two editors.
So what about you?

hmm....I use a bunch, sad to say. Although I prefer coding old school, sometimes time requires the use of a IDE. I heavily use Eclipse and kdevelop, sporadically VS for .NET, a few others. I usually only run one or two at a time (well, on the same computer, but I usually have a few machines on the go).

I usually just use C# Express Edition. Haven't done any other programming lately, but when I did it was with emacs or vim in linux.

I don't have any running, just several terminals open, running vim and gcc.

I mostly use 2, Eclipse and Visual Studio.

I'd have to say, when time allows and it's not a new language I'm learning the syntax for, I prefer to code in Notebook, I guess mainly because it is so portable that I can just slip in my drive and work on it in my free time here and there. But for testing, editing, and turning in major projects, it really depends what language it's in. Java, for example, I usually stick with Eclipse; C++ Visual Studio; HTML I use Notepad and IE. And hey, if your into doing diagrams and UML's like I am (or am required to do) look up a very simple program called Violet for that.

Well, where should I start?

A work I use ColdFusion with Dreamweaver and SQL2005 for the bulk of my work. I have Bluej for light
Java programming, and just Ant on the command line to package jar and war files. I use MiniGW and the
Windows port of Gcc for light C and C++ programming. But the majority of the
odds and ends get done using Notepad++, which a fellow programmer told me about a while ago.

At home I use Kdevelop and QT for GUI C++ stuff. Ajunta for large non GUI C++ projects. Command line with
Kwrite for small C and C++ things. Bluej for small quick Java stuff, and command line with Ant for
larger java projects.

I have been unable to setup Eclipse to run on my desktop. I have a 64bit Amd
and OpenSuSE 10.2 and I cannot get the Eclipse to work with Java SWT correctly.
I am getting ready to download and compile the Eclipse project on my machine.

If anybody has any ideas of how to get Eclipse to work correctly, that would be great.

Depending on the language I am programming in I use VS 2005, Dev-C++, finally transitioning from JCreator to Eclipse.

um lets see... Visual Studeo(C/VB), Programmers Notepad(C,PHP,Perl,HLA), JCreator (Java), Qwined (C,PHP,Perl,Assembly), VIDE (pure borland C++), Mathematica (mathematica), Notepad/Notepad2(whatever I may need at the moment). I often use Edit in the CMD window. SOMETIMES when I am really desperate I "copy con >test.cpp" but that ussualy doesn't end well.

More and more I am using programmers notepad, but it is not super wonderful. One day (like never really) I would like to write an IDE that really did have the tools that I need/want on it. But for now I use what is handy.

I tend try and have no more than 2 ide's up at a time if at all possible, however, I have used too many to count depending on the system I am developing on

Java - eclipse, netbeans, weblogic workshop
C++ - terminal windows, visual studios .net, eclipse
C - terminal windows
Perl - notepad

Eclipse. It does everything I need. Occasionally I'll open VS.NET 2K5, but rarely. Also use ScITE as my default Text editor, although I wouldn't consider that an IDE.

VS.NET 2005, Dev-PHP, and Dev-CPP, and Sharp Develop.
