Uh, when I use a text editor to create Ada source files, then call gnatmake on the main program, I don't need to know anything about makefiles, pre-processor commands to mix in with my source, linker commands to bring in math libraries or whatever. In fact, I can and have created programs with GNATs assembly language commands, and recompile for a different platform without change. (Not guaranteed to work, and you have to be careful.) All in all, much, much better than other languages where moving an application from one compiler to another for the same target can take weeks.
On the downside, Ada is just getting to the point where OS calls and graphics is as easy as the rest of the langauge domain...
