The compiler suite coming for all SGI MIPS-based machines is one of the best optimized development tools for any platform. SGI has put many years of experience on the newest version of the series, MIPSpro 7.4, which we recently gave it a spin.

SGI is for people who work and make things happen, and not for GUI addicts who need 500M RAD/IDE suit to compile simple programs. For 80% of development vi+xterm is more than enough. debuggers are for the rest 20%
SGI windows manager is self-sufficient, fast and decent. I preferred and still prefer it to kde/window$/osx like monsters.
