The problem is it ruins my classes!

And project files are completely unecessary and inconvient. As you
know Ada is designed in such a way that all the dependencies are
described in the program text. Fortunately gnatmake understands this
and works fine sans project file.

I also find the outline window uncessary and inconvenient. It is
doubling what is already there in the program text.

In my opinion this new trend of IDEs ruined program text editing and
viewing.

Now jGRASP is another story. I thing they got it right.
