Just a few weeks after the beta release of the next version of their Linux based OS, Red Hat has released 7.3.93 of their software, once again, code-named Limbo. Those of you who read my first Limbo review know that I gave it a favorable review. After downloading and installing the second beta, I had to take a few days before writing this article.

Maybe I'm biased, but I haven't worked yet with a programmer who both used such an IDE and was able to produce code that used any sort of software engineering.
Majority of the third party developers aren't real programmers?
wow.
Jit compiling. Supports MANY programming lanuages. Full Debuggin support. Shall I go on? No, try it for yourself and tell me it isn't as good as vs.net.
Does it support creating a web service (ala .NET?). Does it have support for developer collabration (e.g. more than one dveeloper working on stuff)? Believe me, I'm a fan of KDevelop, but as of now, I wouldn't push it to be better than VS .NET.
Besides, even if we had the best IDE, it would still not be enough to make VS folks to move over. Two reasons
1) They already have a large codebase in VS
An good altenative IDE coupled with a transitional API would be great to help developers change. They don't want to rewrite in a new API, they don't want to redo what they have done..
2) They want to target the largest audience, Linux isn't that.
What we need is something like Carbon, but for Win32. We could add a lot of extras that would make developers droll, and best of all, the app would work on Windows and Linux. Make it something easy to port to.
Does anyone ever use Kylix?
If you really like Kylix, Delphi is available on Windows.
and about vs.net... it may be a good ide... but then again, look at the price.
People don't care about the price except if they are OSS developers without money. If they are better off with it, they pay for it.
