Yep. I agree with you. Already now it´s better than XEmacs or other
C++-supporting editors. And the best is it can Qt specific stuff.

Yep. I think it will get better.

One should be able to add any directory to the project, so that it will
be considered by the make process.

Once I wanted to checkout two existing C++ projects from CVS. They are
Qt applications started on MSVC. But on Windows I did the mistake to
create this two projects in the same directory. On Windows this is
possible ´cause all filenames of these projects can be set differently
from each other. So far so good. Well, but as I tried to import these
files into KDevelop, I had the problem that both of the projects wanted
to create the makefile, unfortunatelly simply called "Makefile". So the
whole thing turned into madness. ;-) I was constrained to change my CVS
tree structure, a really bad thing.
Maybe it is possible to change the basic approach of the project´s
structure in that way that every file is clearly dedicated (???).

Sorry for all my grumble, someone could say:"So fix it!"; I´m just an
user of KDevelop.
