KDevelop 3.0 beta 1

e8johan writes "The 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 ( 1, 2 and 3) it looks even more promissing than I dared to hope for!"

Is it really that difficult to select a different widgets style if you don't one?

How about some more bug fixes?

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.

please read your post again (moderators too).

the argument is that there are no other IDEs that let you develop in multiple languages and toolkits.

your response, Eclipse, and your explanation contradict each other. you even say it yourself: Java support is mature. C and C++ tools are not ready, Cobol tools just got started, and Python, C#, Aspect, Eiffel, and Ruby are all 3rd-party add-ons and not officially supported.

don't get me wrong, i like eclipse. I've used it periodically, but to say that it can handle multiple languages and toolkits is a bid misleading

XEmacs happily handles ObjC with a variant of the C major mode.

And if you don't think XEmacs is an IDE, then I can't help you.
