I'd like to confirm that on Linux (I'm on Kubuntu 10.04 64 bit) Qt Creator and 
out of the box gdb are very stable.  I do enjoy using Qt Creator a lot, 
definitely beats Eclipse in my opinion.

Even though my commercial work currently targets Windows and  Symbian, I do 
most of my development, including debugging on Linux.  Only for deployment and 
occasional on-device debugging I use WinXP inside a VirtualBox.  That may 
sound cumbersome, but actually is not.  For me making a windows version takes 
just these steps:

On linux:
  tar czf ~/shared/myprog.tgz myprog
Move to VirtualBox window with Qt command prompt open:
  tar xzf x:/myprog.tgz   # [1]
  cd myprog 
  qmake && make

[1] I've mapped X to a ~/shared folder what virtualbox shares from host

Just my 2 cents..
