KDevelop is a free, open source IDE for Microsoft™ Windows™, Mac OS X™, Linux™, Solaris™, and FreeBSD™. It is a full-featured plugin-extensible IDE for C™/C++™ and other programming languages. It is based on KDE™ and Qt™ libraries and has been under development since 1998. The 4.0 version has not yet included many of the features found in the 3.x version.
The Qt™ Assistant has been integrated into KDevelop, but the Qt™ Designer has not, and an available integration plugin to do that is not yet stable. The KDevelop 3.x IDE, integrated to the Qt™ 3 API, is no longer being supported, but the IDE for Qt™ 4 is not yet ready.
KDevelop has the qualities of Eclipse, in that it tries to be a platform for several languages and tools, mainly via plugins, while its heart and soul is Qt™. The appearance of Qt™ Creator has diverted many users away from KDevelop — especially since Qt™ Creator, devoted only to Qt™/C++™, has a better foundation for cross-platform application building.
