A bit of FSF commercial ;-), here are the feature you mentioned,
and how they are provided with emacs/gnat/gdb :
- Pretty printer integrated (emacs font(lazy)-lock plus ps-print).
- Find definition of everything (procedure, types) since the Ada mode
parses gnatf outpout).
- RCS or CVS support (with systematic window for log entry).
- Customization (sometimes seen as a nightmare for emacs user but not
so difficult if you read the manuals ;-).
- Integrated multi language debugger gud/gdb (with a bit of experience
it works for tasking and distributed programming).
- Multi sources syntactic and semantic checks with window and point on
error ala Turbo Pascal (with the GNAT messages in bonus).
- Cross reference tool, gnatf (ASIS soon, may be integrated under
emacs).
- ACT coding standard (syntactic) switch plus some tools to do some
minor reformatings.
- Reformater on demand (non too much intrusive).
Of course it's worth every penny ;-). There are also some other
interesting features both for APEX and emacs (build facilities,
automatic generation of bodies, cross compilers, ...).
My $0.00 ...
