I understand we need a IDE build on top of gtk, and I also want to see that personally. However building a usable IDE is very hard and complex: live parsing and indexing accurately takes significant amount of effort.Especially indexing and parsing complex language like C++ (which I believe a lot of developers would want this IDE to support) . Also, core features such as code completion will be even hard for language like Python. I guess that's why there are users perfer to use "ugly" IDE like netbeans rather than a good looking Anjuta.
Wouldn't libclang solve the 'hard' parts you mentioned for C++? I believe there was a GUADEC talk[1] and there seems to be at least some work for gedit already[2]. (That does not solve the problem for Python, JavaScript etc. of course) [1] https://www.guadec.org/session/clang-llvm-and-gnome/ [2] https://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit-code-assistance
