I fairly want to remark that your so-called windoof is still one of the leaders
of professional development IDEs.

No. MSVC++5.0/6.0 has almost the same behaviour as KDevelop1.2. There's always a
"Run" and a "Debug" button. "Run" is for starting the application, "Debug" is
for debugging the application. The two buttons do not care whether someone has
set breakpoints or not. It just counts what button you click. But as everyone
expects: breakpoints are disabled when starting the program by "Run".

Me neither.

Exactly. During programming I usually start an application in the debugger
without setting breakpoints, just to be there and catch the situation when a
segfault happens.

One point I can agree is to hide the debugger's views (breakpoint survey,
VAR-view,...) when not debugging. I think we will have it in KDevelop2.0...
