I use Cygwin and the GCC collection of compilers to compile it and I just write my code in Notepad++.

Notepad++ is a great improvement over bog standard Notepad, but its clunky and so blatantly suffers from an interface developed by a person with no idea of ergonomics. luckily, gEdit has a windows build now so we don't need to suffer with Notepad++ anymore! I also install the Dejavu fonts that are standard on most gnu distributions, just to make everything look how it should.
