Yeah, oftentimes I miss the presence of a nice graphical package
browser like Synaptic.  Even if I can't install stuff using it, it's
still nice to just go shopping : )

It also included a more detailed description of the software.  There'd
be 3 or so levels of descriptors: the very short one, the medium one,
and the very long one.  It was very effective.

I just hear about it used a lot for making Java programs.  If it gets
too confusing, I'll just stick with KDevelop!  I just hear that
Eclipse is a Java-optimised IDE, and I'd like to use that instead of
ultra-compatible KDevelop (which I perfer for C/C++, and am planning
for use with bash as well).

So the IDE is in the SDK?  That's... strange.
