Compiling Objective-c programs on Ubuntu and a good IDE for the same?

I am trying my hands on Objective-C and I want to know how can I compile the programs in Ubuntu. Can I do it with GCC or is something else required?
Also, please recommend a good IDE/Editor for Objective-C. I am a fan of Geany but it does not support Objective-C. I don't want to use VIM or Emacs.

Ubuntu includes GCC's Objective C compiler in the gobjc package. I don't have a good suggestion for an IDE though. There are multiple text editors with support for Objective C syntax highlighting.

While you've ruled out Emacs and VIM, gedit might cover your needs. It has syntax highlighting and provides some IDE-style features with the gedit-developer-plugins.
