I was wondering what are your thoughts on simplyfortran (using linux)

 Single-language development environments aren’t really the way to go
nowadays.

So long as they support the target language(s) adequately.  Some are much more flexible in their language support tailor-ability than others.   I've often been disappointed by those development environments shipped with compilers such as for Lahey and Absoft.  I'm not especially fond of VS either, but there doesn't seem to be any real competitors that include all the essential features.  The main problem with VS is MS continuously changing the "integration" interface such that vendors are always chasing their tails.  I often need to supplement the editor with something more powerful like kedit but usually for when I need to make lots of string changes and a macro or a built in is more efficient.  I just switch back and forth as needed from within VS.  It automatically reloads the file when you exit any external editor.
