Lots of really great stuff going on with Gideon. I personally do not 
like the IDEAI because I dont like having to click the views i want and 
have to click them again to remove them so that I can see the windows 
underneath the projected tabs, very anoying.

I love the normal child mode with docking, i love that view.

I actually am really starting to like working in gideon, just some 
things that are glitchy make it almost impossible for me to use it to 
make a real project, mostly projects breaking indefinitely etc. the fact 
that all the makefiles have to be compatible with normal compiling 
processes makes it hard to keep up with the "real work" for example, in 
windows using either c++builder or VC, you dont get scared of 
adding/removing units etc halfway through your project, because the 
makefiles are updated and are worked automatically. In gideon, if I make 
a project, and remove units, the makefiles break, and compiling busts 
down, I have to go into the makefile and remove the files listed that I 
had removed. (your thinking, so? well.. i dont have time to modify 
makefiles, i just wanna code my program hehe)

anyways, loving gideon, want to put in my own inputs, but otherwise 
there are a lot of great things coming out of it... one thing I would 
like to see (and i'm sure everyone would) is QT and Gideon being more 
integrated into eachother.. GUI and coding nowadays, are hand in hand.
