Yes - they have NetBeans (with plugins) for PIC, and I presume they 
still have Atmel's MSVS-based Visual Studio.

To ensure chaos, do Microsemi (now owned by Microchip) tools use Eclipse?

Right - after buying Atmel, there's Atmel studio, which
should disappear the way of dinosaurs. It forces the whole
Microsoft IDE environment, and it is a PITA for us non-
Windows users.

Eclipse is actually pretty flexible, if it is used with
standard GNU makefiles, written by the programmer and not
the IDE.

If you aren't afraid of Python, take a look at scons. I usually use scons 
to do the compilation and makefile to do everything else.
