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.

Yup, it does. cant comment on the other capabilities as i don't use an IDE either (although i'm won't pretend that makes me a real developer
It doesn't the last time I check, though I admit I'm using a relatively old version of it because the latest one is so unstable, it isn't worth it.
I'm still learning to be a programmer, without KDevelop, I wouldn't be anywhere :p
I agree with him by the way. not even MS developers use VS, at least not the ones that develop Windows.
How are you suppose to make an OS with VS .NET? Windows is mostly making the APIs. VS .NET is mostly using these APIs.
What happened to the third parties?
Well, my single most used app on Linux is made by a third party, Opera :-). But I think the problem is that nobody is following the LSB right now. SuSE, Mandrake, Red Hat, etc. said they will support it in future release, but as of now, still nothing. Even Debian, the community project, doesn't support LSB. Well, one day they would...
just wanted to say that it does matter to most people. that's why majority of software development these days happen in asia.
These Asian's developers are code finishers used by software companies in the West to cut cost. These programmers DON'T use pirated software. Sure, piracy is rampant in Asia, but if you want to be hired by a company under BSA, using pirated software is a big no.
besides my original point was that there are still a lot of developers and companies out there that just want to make software, but don't want to have to spend hundreds or thousands after buying a computer and/or buying windows just to start developing.
If they don't have money to purchase these stuff, how are they gonna have money to advertise and market their apps? Besides, developing via KDevelop on Linux isn't cheap. Sure, the software is cheap, but then the amount of distributors to support, a lot of people shun the thought: it is more expensive than supporting Windows.
Besides, on Windows, you have ample audience. Not on Linux. How are we gonna fix that? I made a transistional API suggestion up there, go read it if you please.
