http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit

Microsoft Visual Studio ($499+) - Do I even need to mention what this is? Full feature IDE for developing for C++, C#, VB.net and a few other languages. Separate versions for C++, C# and VisualBasic are available as express editions for free. 2012 is the most current version but 2010 is recommended.
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads

QB44 (Free) - For fans of old school QBasic, QB64 offers the same experience for modern computers running 64-bit processors. It runs on Windows, OS X and Linux as well. Whether its for nostalgic reasons, or as a learning tool, it is actually a very nice program that recreates the 1990’s QBasic experience perfectly.
http://www.qb64.net/

Just Basic (Free) - Another free to use BASIC compiler for windows. Several books I have read recommend Just Basic as a good learning language/IDE for people who are new to programming. They have a pay version called Liberty BASIC for more features, but the free version works just fine.
http://www.justbasic.com/

Objective-Basic (Free or $35 for Pro license) - Objective-Basic is a powerful BASIC programming language for Mac, which is a simple and intuitive and very easy to learn. It is similar to Visual Basic and Objective-C. It is an easy to use, object-oriented, compiled, stable, fast and modern programming language written in C++ and Objective-C. Its runtime is entirely based on Cocoa.
http://www.objective-basic.com/

MonoDevelop makes it easy for developers to port .NET applications created with Visual Studio to Linux and Mac OSX maintaining a single code base for all platforms.
http://monodevelop.com/

SharpDevelop (Free) - An alternative to Microsoft Visual C#. Nice clean interface, but in all honesty, Visual C# Express 2010 is a better choice. SharpDevelop might be a good alternative to Visual C# 2012 until more updates to the 2012 version come out.
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx
