Ahhh longed-for discussion :-). Yes the feature list has to be discussed 
(IMO). Maybe the one who collected the items of the TODO/feature list could 
post the latest version so that everybody remembers the items.

We (Daniel and myself) are working on this item at the moment :-). I hope I 
will be able the commite this week something usable.

I THINK SO. Don't missunderstand me, but there are some things that make 
KDevelop killing my nerves (e.g. a not-existing persistant class store :-). 
The other things stand on the feature list (I hope so).
Another thing that's very important from my point of view is an powerful 
editor. But to be true I don't know the newest developments concerning this 
topic. I think Kate is on a good way.

But I also think that Gideon and of course it's developers are serious enough 
to "kick back" so I long-for the day when we are developing Gideon/KDev3 
together and so that a kind of software is growing up, we could tell our 
grandchilds about ;-).
