Aren't there some relatively powerful assemblers that run under linux?
I seem to recall that I had no troubles compiling AVR and PIC assemblers
for my Mac...
And there's emacs, of course :-)  (The "design environment" philosophy
under linux is different than for windows.  IDEs are likely to be less
popular, because people already have their favorite editors, and 
command-line
tools are more popular for compile/etc.)  For that matter, some of the 
DOS
microcontroller tools should work fine under DOSEMU....
