I use Visual Studio for compiling, fixing minor coding errors that the compiler finds, and for debugging. I use autorevert to keep the emacs buffers in sync with disk. There's a similar setting in VS. It might seem odd, but I believe in the best tool for the job. Emacs is a great editor for coding. VS is a great debugger, easier to set up and use (IMHO) than eclipse.
