kdevelop is awesome and in many ways resembles VC++ in, many cases it is better
than VC++. I use them both on daily basis (VC++ and kdevelop) and the outcome is
that I can not wait long enogh to switch all of my development under kdevelop
(code-fusion, yet another development system) and linux.
I agree with you %150 that the normal gdb S*CKS chouder ;)))
However there are so many front ends for gdb that make it look very nice and
easy to use.
Same thing with "vi" I imagine you don't like it much, just like I dont, but
there are so many options (under linux) ....


this is sort of off-topic, though. :))
