Sorry, but I completely disagree that kapptemplate and kexample are "obsolete". You are making a HUGE assumption with that statement -- that all developers will want to use KDevelop. Now as nice as it is (and KDevelop is *by far* the best IDE I've seen on Unix), that still will never be the case. MOST developers still use the standard vi/emacs setup and would never touch a GUI IDE no matter *how* good it was. kapptemplate and kexample are tools for those people... -- Kurt Granroth | granroth@kde.org KDE Developer/Evangelist | http://www.pobox.com/~kurt_granroth KDE -- Putting a Friendly Face on Linux
