FIGURE 28-4
The Code Crusader IDE
As you can see in Figure 28-4, Code Crusader has a much simpler, cleaner interface than the other
IDEs mentioned so far. Another significant difference between Code Crusader and the larger IDEs
such as Eclipse and KDevelop is that each IDE component, such as the project browser, the class
browser, editor windows, and the log viewer, opens in its own, independent window rather than
being part of a single-document interface (SDI).
Having multiple windows is more consistent with traditional Linux and UNIX windowing conventions,
but developers coming from a Windows background might find Code Crusader??™s multipledocument
interface (MDI) a little jarring at first. On the other hand, programmers who prefer a
leaner, cleaner interface might prefer Code Crusader to the rather overstuffed-looking interfaces
that Eclipse and KDevelop offer.

There are many more IDEs than the three discussed in this section. Some are less mature or still in
beta stage. Others are special-purpose IDEs, such as the Quanta HTML editor, or the GLADE interface
designer for GNOME.
