I'm interested in usuable and stable KDevelop versions because I need it 
at work.
But Gideon has been alive since April 2001, even today I can't load my 
.kdevprj files properly. CVS activity for the _important_ parts of the 
program is nearly NULL the last 6 months. The founders of Gideon seem to 
have left the project in a quite half-finished state. The project 
roadmap just chaos.

No. Even now there seems to a real beginning of a merging of both worlds 
as Robe proved that today.
The main aim is to provide KDevelop users with good and stable releases, 
now we get a chance to profit from the KDevelop2 usuability and 
stability married with Gideon features.

I don't understand what result you want in the end. Another 'K' menu 
entry 'Development'-->'TheOtherAlmostTheSameKDevelopAkaGideon'? Does 
that make KDE programmers more happy?

Victor, you're good programmers, keep in the boat, At the moment we're 
trying to overcome the divided world, please, support that, too.
