KDevelop4 Beta 3 Released
mikesd81 writes "KDE announced on May 30th the third public beta of KDevelop4. Some new features include a new code-writing assistant, a new documentation plugin showing you the API docs for Qt and KDE APIs, a reworked
Mercurial plugin, and a rewrite of the classbrowser plugin. Two plugins from the KDevelop source, QMake support and Qt Designer integration, were let go and moved to the KDE Playground area."
Seriously, someone needs to find who wrote the fucking memo that says you can have all the regressions you want as long as your applications use Qt4.
It's a new app, there is no such thing as a regression. Same applies to many other KDE4 progs.
That being said, C++ intelligence for KDevelop4 rocks. Too bad it's not as stable as Qt Creator yet (so I already sort of jumped the ship).
For kdevelop4, perhaps they could consider the approach taken by emacs for gdb integration as "competitive" measure- i.e. just act as all-singing, all dancing code showing frontend for gdb, with normal gdb console visible at all times. For many scenarios, dumbened frontends just can't hack it.

Highly recommend that everyone scroll through tons of pretty screenshots and feature lists on this developers blog which will give you a way better idea of how awesome KDevelop is going to be than the summary links will.

Actually, KDevelop (at least version 3) has a very nice Intel C++ support, and Sun's compiler (whatever it's called nowadays) support too, I think. Even if KDevelop didn't support a particular compiler, the only thing missing would be the jump-to-error functionality.
And Watcom, is, well, irrelevant (ISO C++, anyone?).
