What are freeware alternatives to Emacs (and Vi) as
Ada IDE under Linux? For me Emacs happens to be too buggy.

It's not usually buggy, just takes some customisation to get right. ;)
A good alternative ide is Jedit, it's Java and will run anywhere. I did
a search a while back and this came up the best alternative to emacs (in
the end I ended up using emacs (or xemacs at uni), once I got it right
(or close enough :p )!)

Freeware is not something you find for Linux a lot. Note Freeware is not
Free software.

Huh? Emacs may be many things, but buggy? Not even a Vim user like me
can say that. Well of course the whole concept is buggy ;-) Perhaps you
have a very new version?
Of course Vim is the best :-) http://vim.sf.net
You can try:
http://www.codeforge.com/ (Don't think it is free, but you can
check)
http://glimmer.sourceforge.net/
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/department/cse/research/grasp/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/tia/?topic_id=47%2C65%2C53
http://anjuta.org/ (C++, but perhaps it can be customised for Ada)

You can try anjuta or C-Forge.
They aren't exactly a IDE's for Ada but you can use it for edit Ada code.

You might try JED, an editor with syntax highlighting for many
languages, multiwindow, C-like macro language called 'S-Lang', a very
good emacs mode, free software with source, runs on UNIX (character
mode and X) Windows and VMS.
http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/
(If you compile it yourself, you must first build S-Lang before
building JED).
The ada mode (from Lutz Donnerhacke) is not include with JED, but can
be found at:
ftp://ftp.iks-jena.de/mitarb/lutz/ada/ada.sl
You must first include it in site.sl before you can use it.
Good luck,
Kees

What you mean by 'too buggy'? I'm using Emacs every day since a dozen
years and i certainly wouldn't say it is buggy!
It's perhaps only a matter a configuration to suit your taste or a
bad installation... Some linux distro are curious with their prebuilt
packages.
Anyway, have a look at jgrasp (it requires a jvm to run) but, imho
it's surely not as stable as Emacs.

I have never done it with Linux, but I've found it quite buggy
whenever I compile it from sources myself. :-( Prebuilt binaries tend
to be solid though; certianly they are way more stable than
VisualStudio.

Yeah. You can't get a MS "Clippy" clone for Emacs, like you can for
Vim :-) http://vigor.sourceforge.net/

Vigor is satire and is not part of Vim. With Emacs though you have
something far worse which is actually part of the distribution : Emacs
Psychiatrist. Of course after using Emacs you need to use him. ;-)
Yet again Vim is gets the user award for Favorite Text Editor

Ugh... Now I found that KDevelop is suitable (however creating
new projects and files is a little complex, e.g. .adb/.ads files
are need to be created by an other program).

Try jGRASP : <http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp/>.

Unix itself was meant to be a development environment. I prefer an
editor + the shell.
vim + bash + language tools (compiler, ...)
