In fact while I think about it. One of the main problems with KDevelop 3 in my 
opinion was the excess plugins in the main tree. it is perfectly easy to turn 
them off, but by default you have just about everything but the kitchen sink. 
And I think that is a barrier to entry - people take one look at all the tool 
buttons, menu options etc etc and just get frightened off and go and use 
something more lightweight like Kate.

For KDevelop 4 I hope we can exercise more editorial control. Maybe each main 
language should have a 'benevolent dictator or dictators' to say what should 
go into their language support package.
