I’m planning to try out Google’s NaCL. Which IDE should i use for developing? It would be nice to be able to compile the project from the IDE and run it in Chrome. Some basic debugging would be also very useful.

We do not have any IDE support yet. You can try Eclipse (with CDT) + Standard Make C or C++ project to automate compilation. Launching and debugging will not be possible from Eclipse.
Alternatively, you can use any editor with syntax highlighting and compile/launch by hand from cmd/bash.
Debugging on NaCl is very tricky by itself. There is no sane way to do this now.
You can use
NACL_EXE_STDOUTandNACL_EXE_STDERRenvironment variables (set them to absolute paths to files where stdout and stderr of NaCl program will be written) plus--no-sandboxchrome flag for debug printf’s.Update (March 2014)
We have Visual Studio plugin now which can be installed with
naclsdk update vs_addin.
