Sure, there are a few bugs and features that could be added. But it is a no match for other editors when you compare with the criterions: open source, free, lightweight to use.
- collyw 6y agoI have used Kate and it is pretty nice. What does Kdevelop do that I won't get with Pycharm?
- indymike 6y ago* Better support for QT & KDE tooling for one. * Faster. * Opinion: PyCharm's static analysis seems to be better. * Nice support for opening projects from source control. Kdevelop is really not all that bad, and it does a good job of getting out of the way. That said, I'm using PyCharm for 99% of my work in Python. Kdevelop, I keep around for the occasion when I want to tweak a KDE app.
- collyw 6y agoThanks, probably not enough for me to switch, but nice to know.
- blinkingled 6y agoIt used to be very crashy in the past but I recently tried it with Apache httpd codebase and it was really good - fast, accurate code completion, easy configuration, same stellar customizability except it all seems to work now.
- toyg 6y ago> it all seems to work now. Just in time to port everything to Qt 6 and start the merry-go-round again! Kidding, but also not really.
- brnt 6y agoExcellent C++ debugging, easy to setup with CMake projects.
- wdpk 6y agoagreed, Kdevelop which uses Kate is the only IDE I know that is able to parse properly really complex C++ code (projects that clion or visual studio or vscode would just crash on)
