KDevelop is a plugin based IDE that currently supports 12 programming languages, 5 build tools, 11 documentation formats, 4 revision control systems, 3 code editors, 5 development toolkits and dozens of other neat tools.
All these are plugins and there is documentation and examples on how to add your own plugins.
Here are some key features of "KDevelop":
New refactored codebase
· The KDevelop codebase has been refactored with the goal of improving code reuse and documenting the base library classes that compose KDevelop. These base classes form the new KDevelop platform and present a concise and well documented API
· New RAD (Rapid Application Development) tools
· KDevDesigner integration enables GUI design from within KDevelop itself
· KDevAssistent integration provides a feature rich documentation viewer from within KDevelop
· The C++ Class Wizard can now be used for classes in the persistant class store. This means, for example, that if the Code Completion database for Qt is built then subclassing from Qt classes is possible in the wizard
Much improved ruby language support
· New ruby debugger, combined with improved inspect methods in the qtruby/korundum bindings, for showing Qt::Object metadata such as properties, while debugging
· Class browser has an improved parser that shows Qt and DCOP signals and slots, attr_accessor methods and instance variables
· New project templates for a KDE application framework, KConfig XT, DCOP server and Qt only apps
· Full Qt designer/rbuic integration
· Other improvements and bugfixes
· The Version Control support was refactored. Most of the integration features that were disabled in KDevelop 3.1 are back in 3.2, together with a much improved Subversion plugin.
· Improved "Find in files", Ctags support and history navigation provide faster code navigation
· More application templates are provided
· new templates for cmake based C/C++ apps and libraries
· new templates for scons-based kde apps
· see the change log page for more detail
