Some people seemed concerned that KDevelop was not a stable application.
Who wants to work with an IDE that might crash and destroy all your changes
every few minutes?  In reality, however, KDevelop has been quite stable for
some time.  The move to 1.0 says: "Look, here's a stable, usable program
that has no gaping holes or deficiencies."  Yes, many more features are
coming, but look at Visual C++ 1.0, Delphi 1.0, or Code Warrior 1.0 and
compare them to KDevelop 1.0.  I think you'll find that the version number
is more than deserved.
Thanks for the input,
