I'm migrating to Eclipse for most of my development on Windows and Linux
  for a number of reasons. It decouples the compiler from the IDE, it
gives me the the same toolset and IDE regardless of platform, it gives
me superior search-and-replace capability, and in the case of Photran,
I'm hopeful that the refactoring tools will mature to where I can press
a button and convert our fixed-format half-F77/half-F9x code to clean,
clear F9x code (I can dream... :) )

I have some version of Intel Visual Fortran, and while it works within
Visual Studio, I'm also interested in getting it to work with Eclipse
and Photran on Windows. I'm currently using gfortran as a workaround but
 I'd prefer a commercial compiler; we've paid for the Intel compiler so
there's no reason not to use it.

PS: I still owe the team some log files and refactoring cases; I've been
busy with code QA & such.
