That depends a little on your definition of "necessary". However, when I 
develop GUI applications for Linux I don't use any integrated package. I edit 
with Nedit or Vim, I build with (auto)make. I don't even use Glade, 
preferring to code up the GTKmm stuff by hand. I see no reason the same 
approach couldn't be used on Windows - Notepad++ or similar for editing and 
the MinGW environment for make. That said, DevCpp was an easier way to get 
all the dependencies established when I tried porting an application over.

HTH,
