right now I'm working without KDevelop. I used to be a big fan of it, but 
since I upgraded to KDE 3.1 I fell in love with the new Kate...  
automatically highliting pairs of ( ) and { } so that you know which one goes 
with which one.... being able to collapse blocks of code you are not 
interested in at the moment... so many other goodies I dont know how I'd been 
able to live without them! =)

Seirously now.. I really love the new Kate, but  I am missing many features 
from KDevelop:

* code navigation: right click on a variable or method and select -> go to 
definition / declaration
* jumping directly to the method you are interested in via the class browser
* the integrated help browser
* debugger
* clicking "run" to test your changes 
(now I have to type  make && su -c "make install"  )

I guess I'll have to give Gideon a try and hopefully  get the best of the two 
worlds. I tried it a couple of days before alpha1 was released, and altough 
it was looking good already, it was still unusable for real work at the 
time... now it's been a while since alpha3 so maybe it's usable already.

PS - if you wanted to know if * I am * using KDevelop, see above. If you want 
to know if it is possible: I think it is. --> You can import the directory 
(create a KDevelop project of the files in the directory and select "custom 
make files" in the prj options. That way you'll get all the benefits of 
KDevelop but it wont touch your makefiles.
