Sure, while this would be a good thing™ it's really complicated to do right. 
And as usual in the FOSS world one tends to fix his own itches. And since we 
are all already "accomplished programmers" we know that there is still lots of 
room for improvement.

Personally, I am a complete self-taught programmer. Tutorials and a plain text 
editor where pretty much all I had back then, and I think KDevelop's semantic 
analysis etc. pp. already go much in the direction of helping you finding your 
way around existing code (which btw. teaches you a lot, I tell you).

Anyhow, I do see that KDevelop really could use some usability work in some 
places. Suggestions welcome, as always. But don't just say "this sucks", we'll 
have to know what would be better for a newcomer.
