Well ... I've had some time to take a closer look at Kylix (I didn't get a new contract so I'm unemployed for the time being anyway, nothing better to do
) and I like it, nice clean, fast IDE but in my opinion one major drawback:
it's pretty much restricted to the CLX library (which is a wrapper around the Qt library, so why not just use Qt?) I didn't find a way to make, say, an SDL application...
I'll just stick to xterm/kate/(Qt/SDL), but it can be very attractive for corporations and such....
