Hmmm.. while you should really choose a language for reasons other than tooling, the Go language has some of the nicest tooling (gofmt, golint, godef, godoc, go tool etc) among modern languages around and a number of languages are copying things like automatic formatting (gofmt). All the tooling is built in Unixy philosophy of composition of small command line tools and most developers use them via text editor plugins which exist for just about every major editor. There's an IDE called Lite IDE as well.

Here are some options:

- JetBrains makes several cross-platform, language-dedicated IDEs, like IntelliJ IDEA (JVM langs), PhpStorm, PyCharm (Python), RubyMine, WebStorm (JS), CLion (C, C++)

- Eclipse is very modular and there are plugins for just about anything, including languages. You can probably find extensions that support the language of your choice.

- Some IDEs use leverage Eclipse as a base and provide their own experience, like Aptana Studio (Python, Ruby, PHP)

- Monodevelop is a solid alternative for C# and dotnet langs

- IDLE/IDLE3 is included with Python

What do you use or would like to use in an IDE? Would you consider something like Sublime text as an IDE? It has some kick ass plugins both for Python and Go which I use in my day to day... I don't feel like I am missing anything that an IDE could give me

Code::Blocks was fine for me, simple and lightweight, included in many distros and suitable for cross-platform Windows/Linux work. Also: KDevelop, Eclipse, Netbeans.

Scala. Not as good as Java tooling but good enough.

You could try CLion
