Hi,

After years of dissatisfaction with the present C++ ides on linux, trying to build humonguous dependencies for an app (KDevelop requires Qt and Kdelib, which i had to install only to satisfy it), trying buggy, unsupported tools (semantic-cedet for emacs, is IMHO, unsupported) and trying to have wine to run fugly win32 applications ( i once managed to get VC++ 6 to run under some awfully modified wine version which remembering it makes me cry ) and others that simply doesnt work at a minimal standard or are too heavy on the system (Eclipse-cdt, anjuta), i've find something that does a great job in supporting very, i mean, VERY important features (for me, that is) to write quickly in C++ complex codes. the only problem with this thing is that is a commercial product. The thing is a emacs tool called Xrefactory which does everything you can do on VC++ and better, but with the emacs advantages of not needing a f**cking window manager running.

I wonder how difficult was that? (btw, when i said years, i meant like 4 or 5 years, the amount of time i've been in linux). In my opinion, what this proves is that when open source developers try to do each one their own 'thingie' instead of >>_!_!_cooperate_!_!_<< we all end up having lots of codeblobs that each one does a small piece of the job fair acceptable, while failing at the rest. I mean, i've been following anjuta since it was 0.9. In that early days it promised C++ symbol autocompletion, which it failed. Up to date, that promise still waits. KDevelop has improved quite a bit since 2.0 series, specially in the code browsing and completion features. Still, its this little thing that annoys me to death and after using KDevelop for a while, develops as a severe PITA; im refering to the whole KDE/Qt thing. What is the f*ck*ng point of entangling an application with a gui manager is something that exceeds my human understanding. I understand that you may like stuff with nice guis, but damn, what happened with that excellent *nix paradigm; one job, one program? when we deranged trail so much?

I had to let out of my chest, so sorry if you dont feel this way, but something tells me that you do
