What is missing?
I've been dogfooding Anjuta recently and I've been relatively impressed with its potential. I think the plugin-based system is its biggest strength: I want to be able to use the same environment for all of my programming, and Anjuta has good support for many languages thanks to plugins. I have nothing against specialized text editors, but GNOME programs are written in so many different languages that for a GNOME IDE to be credible, it really needs to support as many as possible. However, it's currently quite buggy. I have a notebook with over 20 bugs that I need to file, some very annoying, one that has destroyed my work multiple times, and all these discovered from roughly one week of use. I would definitely not recommend it users at the present time. There are several other UI/workflow issues as well. But my $0.02: bugs can be fixed. Anjuta deserves very serious consideration. I also think it would be possible to drop the menu bar without losing functionality, with some help from the GNOME designers.
