OK, that sort of makes sense....

But I doubt you'll have much luck finding anything like Turbo C IDE for 
linux....

I used to use it quite a bit when it came out, but linux is just 
different....

IIRC correctly, you have an edit window, a run window, and an error window.

Sort of like an editor, a shell running make and the resulting 
executable, and possibly another shell running gdb...

The problem is that most of us in linux land are too damn picky and 
individualistic for a simple IDE to really gain popularity.

I use kate for some projects due to its ability to collapse and expand 
blocks of code.  I use vi for quick changes.  I use cat and less and 
grep to scan files.  Sometimes I use sed to make global changes.  I use 
gedit sometimes instead of kate.  I use cross-compilers and different 
versions of gcc.  I use all sorts of stuff, and the collection of little 
tools I have is far richer than any single IDE.  And I can tile my 
windows in X to look like an IDE, so what need have I for an IDE?

So I doubt you'll find an IDE similar to Turbo C....  The only time you 
may find an IDE useful is for really complex tasks like dealing with Qt 
(yeccchhhh).
