	Nothing!  In fact, that's what I use now.  However, many newbies
don't like using EMACS.  I've been looking at the discussion going on
about Linux at BuilderBuzz. (CNET)  Users commenting on Linux have been
having trouble finding, downloading, compiling, and installing software.
A graphical software compiling tool would probably help a lot.  (A tool
which can organize program output, colorize important messages, etc.)  

	A dual purpose would make ME happy.  Gnome should have a
development environment.  Although I like to use EMACS and a seperate
testing window, others do not.

 If you love something, write it in C; if it compiles, it is yours; 
                     if it doesn't, it never was.
