I think the actual design of kdevelop (1.0 beta 3) lacks some unity in
the class tools : 
there are several methods to get info of used classes and their
parent/children,
server/clients, etc.
I think a single window / widget would suffice and be less confusing.
A merge of all the different functionnalities to browse the classes &
adding methods/attributes
would be good thing.

Although it may not be easy to implement, I think the use of the UML
notation would make things
look more professional (a triangle for inherited classes, a
diamong-shaped figure for aggregation, and so on ...). As some windows
use the Qt tree widget, they would have to be completely rewritten. 

To improve Kdevelop is a wonderful thing, although it is still very
usable and useful.
