KDevelop great for C++ development on Linux

What do you like best?

KDevelop has a clean interface. Its GUI debugger is great, and beats gdb hands down.

What do you dislike?

The GUI debugger does not expose advanced features of gdb. Workaround: it is possible to execute gdb commands directly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are still using emacs or vim, give KDevelop a try.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I was doing research and development on Linux as a research assistant. With the GUI interface of KDevelop, I was able to develop and debug code more quickly than in a text editor such as emacs.
