Hehe. Fair, but writing more code to have a smaller application was precisely 
what got me what I needed ;)

Certainly would. Wich doesn't mean it won't ;). I would love to help!

I must say I'm not KDevelop resistent. I simply don't see both applications as 
mutually exclusives (nor living in a redundant coexistence). KDevelop, as an 
IDE, is feature rich. Despite been small (as pointed above), it feels 
kindda...big...facing some tasks. But might be just me (and a few lunatics 
that found Protoeditor useful precisely because of it's...simplicity). 

So, it seems to me that it covers a very specific area, between editors and 
IDE's. What do you think?
