Yes, the free version (ObjectAda 7.2.1 Special Edition) provides a
very nice editor for Ada and other languages.  It is also trivial to
use the ObjectAda editor as a front end for GNAT 3.13p by adding a
call to gnatmake to the Tools menu.  For learning purposes, it is
often helpful to be able to submit the same source file to two
different Ada compilers.  The free version has some program size
restrictions but I don't find them to be a problem for most home or
student projects.

The free OA 7.2.1 SE is can be downloaded from:

http://www.aonix.com/content/downloads/objectada/full_721.zip (a very
big file)
