AVR-Chat

I'm a Mac user <weathering the hisses and boos> so I don't have 
AVRStudio for my avr-gcc stuff.  I use Eclipse with the AVREclipse 
plugin for my dev environment.  I say all of this because the AVREclipse 
plugin builds the make file automagically like any other "hand-holding" 
IDE.  You do have control over your gcc compiler options however so the 
big deal is the auto makefile creation and a nice editor.  The plugin 
also supplies a nice device description tool that gives the port and 
register names and addresses and lists all of the IRQ sources and the 
GCC handles to use them.

The IDE has a "tools" section where I have avrdude configured so a 
program of a part is just a push of a "button".  Others have gotten GDB 
and Avarice working in the IDE as well, but I've not tried that - I 
don't use a programmer with debug capability, yet.

You can get Eclipse IDE for Windows too if that is your platform of 
choice, or Linux as well.  It works the same in all environments (JAVA 
based).
