Well it sounds very nice and I wish you every success - the
more Free Software
IDEs the better. Something simpler and lighter, that fits in
between say Kate
and KDevelop maybe something that useful to a lot of
developers. But I still
think people will at first think it's a Qt-only version of
KDevelop, although
maybe that doesn't actually matter in practice.
The next version of KDevelop for KDE4 should be
cross-platform too, and so
there won't actually be any reason to produce a Qt-only
version of it
anymore.
