C/C++ learning

GoldED can serve as an (limited) IDE for the last 2.

Actually, GoldED integrates with any C compiler out there via the "generic" variant of its C/C++ mode. It's not an IDE in the strict sense,  rather running, making, etc. via toolbars and general C/C++ support, such as synax highlighting, makefile generation, symbol lookup, etc. Some variants of the C/C++ mode add support for specific compiler features: breakpoints for StormC3, scmsg for SAS/C and options programs for gcc and vbcc, etc. But does not limit the C/C++ mode to these compilers.

I brought GoldEd 6 from Kicksoft, why can't such an arrangement like that be made again?

It's been great working with Kicksoft and Ray, he's helped tremendously with distribution in England (and still is, by  offering GoldED6 well below the price of the AIX version). Regrettably, the number of Amiga users kept spiraling down and at some point, working with distributors no longer made financial sense (a distributor receives a solid share of the retail price, for expenses and services, something like 50%-75%). There are other, technical reasons, too, but I'm not getting into those now, they are secondary.
