KDevelop - IDE for KDE

Home page: http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

KDevelop is a free, open source IDE for MicrosoftWindows™, 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 QtAssistant has been integrated into KDevelop, but the QtDesigner 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 QtCreator has diverted many users away from KDevelop — especially since QtCreator, devoted only to Qt™/C++™, has a better foundation for cross-platform application building.
