Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 now, and before that Microsoft Visual C++ 6. Compile it and ftp it to the mud server. But we're on a windows box. On those instances where I've worked on other muds who were on linux, Usually just use Ultraedit and load and save the file directly from/to the server using the built in ftp integration.

We've found version control to really be a critical tool. Not only does it help us coordinate the efforts of multiple coders, but it's extremely comforting to know that we can step our code back to virtually any point since version control was implemented. It can also expedite tracking down new bugs; running a few diffs will tell us exactly what's changed lately.
