And you can use flyspell-mode to check spelling interactively.
I prefer aspell though, seems to give a more complete word completion list
(sometimes too complete though, flows off my screen).

gdb is more powerful then anything MS Visual can spit my way. It does take some
time to get used to.
My favorite GUI for it is insight, although ddd is also ok. Never managed to
get emacs to work nicely with gdb, keeps choosing the wrong windows or ignoring
to code window for setting breakpoints.
Never tried kdevelop and anjuta, but I believe that they also have nice
interfaces to gdb (I prefer to use emacs as an IDE personally, only thing I am
missing is a project based approach to development, such as project class view
in ECB and project file view).
And if I mentioned it, don't miss out on ECB.
