Just to avoid misunderstandings: it is not required to use KDevelop.

If you are more comfortable using the shell and make for building and one of 
the programmer editors for coding, then this is perfectly OK.

As for Makefile generation: most of the time, especially at the beginning, you 
will be modifying files, i.e. ones that are already handled properly.
Sometimes you might have to add new files, but again, in most of those cases 
you also have plenty of examples in the build system input files because of 
the files which are already there.

Cheers,
Kevin
