C Environments

I am a Sophomore at my university and am taking my first class for learning C. I am wondering what /prog/ thinks is a decent set up for someone new to C. A bit of background: I favor IDEs, using Netbeans for my Java work, and have experimented with both Dev-C++ and a small amount of Eclipse. Also, I am using Windows as my platform. Any suggestions would be lovely, thanks. (Furthermore, my professor suggests using a DOS port of gcc in conjunction with an editor such as jEdit or Emacs but as I previously stated, I prefer IDEs)

My professor just sort of brushed the idea of configuring Netbeans to compile C but I have it considered.
