I think any Ada related new project is good for Ada promotion.
So if one has time to invest in such project I won't discourage him.
GPS is improving, I like the GPL 2015 version.
Debian's one is far older and I can't blame anyone for that.
It can be used with some parts not working and some bugs here and there.
I wish I could help but I don't even know why it is that late behind the GP=
L edition. It seems not much people are using it, at least the Debian versi=
on.
