Intellisense (tm)

[Kevin Burton]

Wow!  That is a cool feature!

I think the trend here is to have the computer do more thinking for us
(so that we can be more productive and sane programmers).  Agreed?

Didn't someone say they were going to work on this project?

I might have some time coming up... Maybe I will just do it.

The very least I can do is gather a list of features people liked from
different IDEs so that KDevelop can have the best of all worlds.  A
document on all this would be good.

Anyone have more suggestions?
