I have used it on Linux, Solaris SPARC and SOLARIS X86. 
I have used it with Qt and proprietary toolkits. You can use KDevelop
to develop with all known toolkits that make sense and are available
from compiled languages (C,C++,Fortran). Gideon allows you to develop
in scripting languages Python Perl, Java, you name it.

Yes, but there are some gotchas in the current stable version, 
the development version is going to have more flexibility here.

Yes, and in fact it should, any project where the developers dont use
the tools they develop is ulimately doomed to fail.

It does. Works in a failry restricted manner currently but it will
improve.

No, but we should probably.

Yes.

Yes, gideon has a plugin that can at least read .pro files.

Yes. 

 Are the Makefile readable ? 

Yes, they are generated by automake, but they are ASCII so you can read
them if you like, they are very hard to understand though.

Yes. This works very well, install exuberant ctags then generate and
load a tags file and you can quickly jump to declarations and
definitions. (Shameless plug, he he)

That depends, the closer it is to the standard automake autoconf
structure the better it is. In gideon it is _very_ easy to import all
kinds of projects.

No. This is a KDE project. Lot's of people have contributed small
things and some people have contributed a lot.
