Hi,
 
I've been really happy using Code::Blocks for the past year or so.  I think some of the Dev-C++ developers jumped ship to CB as well.  You'll need a compiler like mingw to plug into it and it feels pretty clean.
 
You can check it out at www.codeblocks.org but be careful.  The release candidate is very old and not much better than Dev-C++.  Instead, look for the nightly builds at forums.codeblocks.org.
