The GNU Emacs (I tried XEmacs for a bit, but didn't like it, I don't
know how it compares in this regard, it's probably the same) front end
to revision control systems is wonderful. It's slightly better for raw
RCS than CVS, but there's very little difference visible to the user
except you can't undo check ins in CVS with it, but that's to be
expected because of the way that CVS works.
There's a GNOME front end to CVS (called Pharmacy) available from:
http://home.earthlink.net/~nawalker/pharmacy.html
I've been using it for a few days now, it's kind of confusing at first
but that's because there's practically no documentation and it's still
at 0.2.1
It could concievably be integrated with Glade (http://glade.pn.org),
the Gtk/GNOME GUI builder which has Ada '95 suppourt, a graphical
debugger (eg. DDD) built on top of GDB with the GNAT patches, and the
text editor of your choice to provide a complete Free[1] IDE that
would run on a modest (by current standards) machine (my p166 with 48Mb
of RAM handles it all with only a little discomfort caused by whole
screen redraws).

libre and free is equivalent to gratis.
