I don't use it so I don't know the status of the plain makefile support, 
don't expect too much though.

I'm using svn snapshots. There are some troubles from time to time but 
they are corrected fast enough for me. Anyway currently, the stable 
version 2.2.0 is very close to the current svn snapshots.

Naba has insisted to avoid creating another project format and to try 
using already existing tools. It explains why the Anjuta 1.2 project 
format has been dropped. But It makes some things much more difficult, 
especially project management. Anjuta saves some configuration 
information in a .anjuta sub directory of the project directory but all 
these data are not necessary to build the projects. So I think you don't 
need to worry about this.
