kdevelop is way beyond every other IDE in terms of ease and power.
( Ok so maybe emacs is more powerful :).  While you may include
another IDE I can't think of a reason to exclude kdevelop. 

Yes it dose KDE code better than other things but that's just fine 
for our target programers ( Simple consistent apps that are easy 
to build and maintain ).  As for none KDE code.  It's still easier
to create that with kdevelop than with the other IDEs.

PS : Of course I don't personally program but this is the info I
get from those who do.
