KDevelop team has released the first beta of
KDevelop 3.0 a.k.a. Gideon (download
here). The GUI has been completely rewritten, support has been added for more languages, auto-completion, etc. Plus a bundle of improvements, the change overview can be found
here. Judging from the screenshots (

3) it looks even more promissing than I dared to hope for!"
It's ALPHA 1, not beta. Rick

I've always used KDevelop for linux C and C++ development. Looks like I'll be using it for Java soon as well. Hooray!
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
Sure, it may look more complete than before. But that is awful looking! Why would any developer use such an ugly look. I assume you can change the 'bubbley-ness' to the look with a different theme, but to put out screen shots that look like that?
It reminds me of winxp my sister-in-law uses. That look is not clean. I like defined lines! I like squared edges on buttons. I don't like bubbles. I do not lick my desktop.
Make it go away!

Fact: We deserve leaders who can kick your ass and field dress your carcass.
Is anyone aware of how extensive their support for non-C++ projects will be. Are they going to include full debugging capabilities? Perhaps have a javadoc tab similar to the current QT documentation tab?
This is extremely exciting stuff, I am not aware of any other IDE that let you develop in multiple languages AND multiple toolkits...if they are fully supporting those other languages and toolkits like they do with C++ and QT.....wow....I'm going to be using this for everything I do from now on.....
Before adding tons of new features? I like KDevelop and use it a lot, but it's got plenty of glitches, such as buggy syntax highlighting settings and a broken help viewer (BACK button doesn't work amongst other things). How about some simple but nice additions like Go To Declaration, jump between declaration and definition, etc? Plus, it would be great to have some sort of macro capabilities inside the IDE, on a per-project basis.
I though these screenshots were intended to be used as wallpaper!
At least I did that with screenshot 2 in my Win 98 (looks nice near TortoiseCVS)

I have not used KDevelop properly but remember popping it open a couple of years ago and poking around. I was quite impressed. The KDevelop team deserve a lot of praise for the quality of this application - well done!
... shallow) made me think a little too much of XP. Really, pretty close - people will think Linux applications are just knock-off's of Microsoft's. I hope it's just a 'theme' but it has that 'fisher-price' XP look :-/
Looking at the screenshots just now though (I know
Are people moving closer to or further from IDEs? I get the impression that they imprison me and deny me the flexibility that I need, and usually lock me in in some way, well that's my 2c.
That way all those former Windows developers could use a VS style editor and I could use a vi style editor and not worry about having my muscle memory taking over ;)
Why don't distributions provide debug builds of betas and alhpa.
e.g. Manrdakes packages KDE betas/alhpas never produce stack traces, even the ones from kde unstable.
If the distributions built unstable projectes with debug turned on then you'd get more, better bug reports.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
As I read the posts on ./ regarding KDevelop, what appears on the page? Well, a big ol' fat ad for Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET.
lol
when does the windows verison come out? oh boy, oh boy! is this KDeveop.NET?? Why couldn't they have used Keramik for the window style. /me is angry

What's the point of using acronyms when you have to type out the whole phrase anyways?
With java support coming, is this likely too?
