eCos uses the GNU tools. That means you develop with the editor of your 
choice and the tools are all command line, although you can use insight if 
you wish which is a graphical frontend to the GDB debugger. Some people 
have reported instability with it so it is disabled by default with the 
tools available with the default installation of eCos. Add "-w" to GDB's 
arguments to see it.

If you want something more like a full integrated development environment 
(IDE) then that's not something shipped with the default eCos. Instead you 
need to contact companies that do commercial eCos support (see URL in my 
sig for example, although there may be others who also do IDE support).

I'm not quite sure what you mean here - it's up to you to write the 
applications you want :-). Unless you mean things like web servers, SNMP 
daemons etc. which eCos does have?
