  Eclipse is a Java based open source IDE that can be configured for lots
of environments.  It is so flexible that it is almost impossible to use
at times.  :)  There is a nice AVR plugin for it and avr-gcc that while
it is a little rough around the edges, helped me over the hump of
configuring it for avr-gcc and the AVR micros.

  And winking LEDs,  - I have a library of bit-banged async serial output
routines too.  I like your method as well.  I live on the scope when
dealing with code in tiny micros with no UART.  I've never had a working
debugger setup using AVR Studio, and while I have a JTAG MKII, I've
never gotten it to work for me, so <shrug>.  I'm glad I won it as a door
prize at a seminar.
