[Vala] R: The perfect Vala/GNOME IDE...

["sejerpz tin it" <sejerpz tin it>]

Hi,

I see good intentions here, just a note about the "obnoxious 
ValaToys" (why obnoxious?!? ;) )

comments and acquired symbols

This is not 
true, vala toys has support for the concept of a "project" with 3 
backends (the most tested is the autotools one) and
the completion 
engine acquires symbols from all the project's files and not only the 
opened ones, also it finds all the vapi from the
project packages.

To 
see all the functions that VTG offers you should use "open project" 
from the file menu', 
or enable the *experimental* option 
"Automatically Find Project Root Folder" in the plugin option, and open 
a vala file.

When you have a "project" opened you can jump to any file 
or symbol etc...

The real problem is that afrodite, the completion 
engine library, is very very buggy slow and leaky.
I've several idea to 
fix it, but no time to do any real development (I'll accept patches of 
course)

Having said that, in my opinion the best feature I'd like to 
see is an integrated debugger.

Have a nice day,
Andrea

P.S.
I'm the
