Windows. It crashed several times. Project management is hideous.
The dialogues are horrible. I even failed to simply connect to my
local CVS server.

The UI looks very much non-Windows and makes Swing Windows L&F look
nearly pixel-perfect.

I am sure that, once you fought your way through and got used to
the many niggles, it is a powerful IDE well-suited for Ada
development. But I'm afraid it is just not the right IDE for me.

In contrast, GNATbench for Eclipse works quite smoothly. The
Eclipse CVS plugin works fine, and the Eclipse UI does not look
like an Alien on Windows.
