Way off topic here, but that is really cool.  I remember way back (1998) using 
KDevelop and when it would screw up my project.kdevelop file there would be 
no way to fix the project and more often then not I would just make a new 
project and import the files.  But after a few months of this I sat down and 
learned enough to get by on the command line ( no borked files, no crashes 
that distroy everything) and have been a vim man ever sense.
