With your interface kdevelop will loose its nice gui which is usable. There 
will be no nice way to use 2 editor parts at once, like text, html + a docu 
editor within a nice GUI because not all these parts are managed by one 
doc/viewmanager, you will end up with 10000 windows with different gui, 
shortcuts ..........) Than each dev can use emacs + kdbg + gcc + konsole, 
that will be more easy to use.
