Although I've been really, really quiet these last few months, I'm still here.
I presume this is part of a conversation with Hugo Ferreira, which, I presume 
from the email is also from Portugal, and what's more works/studies in the 
same town that I do. :)

Aaaahhh, Holidays! I wish! I still have more or less one month to go before 
holidays. :(

I use konsole/vim myself. Once I learned vi about 12 years ago I never really 
wanted anything else. I made small incursions into emacs (mainly for the 
scripting, programmers curiosity really) and kate (to check what was so cool 
about it) but ended up back in vim.

Vim has one function I can't survive without: code folding. I wonder how I 
could spend more than half my programming life without code folding!

I also check kdevelop regularly, but I hate the available editors. Eventually 
one or two hours later I'm back to konsole/vim. Even kvimpart doesn't suit my 
needs.

Although a good gui for debugging would definitely be great. I have some 
dificulties with kdbg.

Aye! That it would!
