No, GNAT isn't required.
Rational's Apex provides an emacs/ada-mode combination with
similar functionality. It looks like they modified emacs 19.30
and an older ada-mode to work somewhat seemlessly with the rest
of the Apex tools. There are a few quirks, but I find it much,
much nicer than the standard Apex editor. I especially like
the "Show Usage" function.
