I am wondering, why hasn't anybody mentioned Slickedit i this thread? I 
used to work with it in C++ until a few years ago when  switched to 
Visual Studio for that. I know it used to have problems with the Ada 
beautifier but they seem to have caught up with that. they are currently 
working on a new version and I follow their progress loosely in their 
forum, even reported a bug with Ada which they promised to fix for the 
final release.
 From my tests with the 2013 version it seems that it is already pretty 
good. the main thing that interests me there is the hierarchy tree (in 
C++ it would be a class browser) that shows all the packages hieraries 
for an Ada program and which provides a nice browsing feature.
It misses stuff that GPS has, for instance it does not provide the 
parameter names for a subprogram call but for me that is worth less than 
a good browser. My main problem with GPS is that I quickly loose 
overview over my program because from my work in C++ I am not used to 
looking at it in terms of source file hierarchies but class hierarchy.
