</div>That might be the aim, if it is, it's still not there. I don't see myself<br>
switching from kate/kwrite anytime soon, others swear by emacs or vi(m).<br>
Many use leksah or eclipseFP which seem to be decent IDEs.<br>

</div>Depends on what type of coder you are. Maybe you should take a look at<br>
leksah and eclipseFP if you're looking for something IDEish, or any text<br>
editor with decent syntax highliting might do.<br>

<br>
</div>Probably not. But Windows is different and most package authors have no<br>
access to a Windows box, so installing stuff on Windows is often a pain,<br>
unfortunately.<br>
<br>
However, you'll probably need pkg-config also for some other packages, so<br>
it's worth some effort.<br>
