Emacs.  Add in Ada-mode, presto:
	- Drop down menus and mouse support
	- Context sensitive help
	- Colour hilighting
	- autoindenting
	- template expansion
	- Check-in/out of source (revision control)
	- Multi-window/multi-frame development
	- Cross-referencing and automatic subprogram index
	- Switch between spec and body with a single command
		(and it will build the body from the spec if none
		exists!)
	- Invoke compiler in editor (and step through errors)
	- much more to list!

And, of course, it's free :-)
