Yes, definitely something we should have a look at, at least for all the 
languages they offer which we don't support. And it may also make sense to use 
those for the cases where we don't have the manpower to do maintenance 
anymore, e.g. kdev-ruby, kdev-php. For C++ and Python, I guess our existing 
plugins are going to be superior to what they have there, but of course I'd 
like to be proven wrong on this :)
