The Borland "Turbo" family of development environments was really good for 
learning.  They were fast, easy to use, and everything was integrated with a 
default installation that made things just work.

Do we have a Linux development environment that comes out of the box with an 
editor that has a function-key to compile and run?

For my use vim/make/gcc works really well.  But it's not the easiest way to 
start teaching kids.
