Phoronix: Builder IDE Becoming More Capable In GNOME 3.28

The GNOME Builder development environment has already been working on many new features for next year's GNOME 3.28 desktop environment while even more features are now on track...

Would be nice with live UI preview of GtkBuilder UI xml files as you edit the files.

The Flatpak support is cool.

What differentiates GNOME Builder IDE from other IDEs, which already exist?

Isn't it better to have one powerful(light, flexible, extensible,...) IDE instead of many tiny IDEs? For example, mature IDE would have had implemented intelli features with good algorithms, which improve experience and resource consumption...

It looks terrible, so it fits better with the rest of a GNOME desktop.

Human nature prevents it.

Ever did "group projects" at school?

Adults work the same, you either rule with iron fist and impale all those that don't bend to your will, or you're herding cats and waste 10x times the energy required to do it if you had people that complied decently.

Isn't it better to have one powerful(light, flexible, extensible,...) desktop instead of many tiny desktops? [...] Probably, but then people would need to agree on technical stuff.


By the way: I like that IDE. It could be the first IDE on Linux being implemented in a compiled language (not JS or Java), which properly supports rust

It's built for the GNOME desktop on GNOME technology. There are many other IDEs out there built on Java, Qt, Electron, or such. GNOME Builder is built with GTK+.
It has templates to built GTK applications in C, Vala and Python. It has functionality to build Flatpak packages.

Does it still require the LLVM 3.8/3.9 branch when we are on the verge of 5.0.1 and 4.x in Debian Stable is long in the tooth already?

It requires 3.5 or newer and has explicit checks supporting 5.0 and everything in between. If you have any issues with it report bugs.

You forgot to share links to your own, more visually appealing projects.
