It would be good if there were a compiler and OS independent basic 
library I guess, but that doesn't seem to exist. So for me as a beginner 
I guess I take whatever help I can and since I dont see me switching 
compilers in the near future I stick with Gnat. Actually I hope I can 
use the Gnat server class from Dmitry's collection library, I will know 
in a day or two.
Ada is hard enough to master when you come from VisualStudio because of 
all the help the IDE provides. GPS is not as powerful, but seems to be 
usable. I know the Janus compiler is out there, but I must say that GPS 
is one of the main arguments for me to use Gnat because it shields me 
from many of the complicated issues that I don't want to deal with as a 
newbie.
