    Why not fuse KDevelop and qt-creator and create a better IDE?

      Different goals. QtCreator is pretty much tailored to Qt's needs. KDevelop aims to be generic.

      Also KDevelop kde-frameworks dependencies, that wouldn't look too good for an official IDE.

      Yarr! KDevelop. Thanks to all the devs.

        it's sad because it make it less portable than a Qt application (and more heavy/complex to package)

        is it really necessary or it is a political choice in favor of KDE ?

          Do you not remember what kde-frameworks are? KDE took all of their monolithic, heavy to package libraries and split them up into much smaller and portable libraries, cutting out entire sections where they could use Qt's own libraries instead.

          KF5 dependent projects are very light, compared to KDE4 stuff.

            A) More complex to package, yes. Sad, definitely not.
            Even on the packaging side it isn't so bad if you use a sane package manager. Take a look at the gentoo package : https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blo...p-5.1.0.ebuild . Easy and streamlined.


            B) Yes it is necessary, unless you want to reinvent wheels, garden-hoses and other everyday stuff.
            for instance : Using KatePart gives Kdevelop an awesome editor for free.*
            Using Kioslaves makes access to network shares transparent.
            Okteta Kpart gives Kdevelop a hexa editor for free.*
            KonsolePart gives Kdevelop a terminal emulator for free.*

            *for free means "for the amount of work it takes to integrate that part into the bigger project"

              Hm, I wish they implemented IPython support into it.
