1. It runs on Linux. Linux is still no acceptable platform for us. Maybe, we 
will give it a chance if there is Windows version.

2. It lacks a few good features of Ada. Exception handling for example.

3. Compare it with available C/C++ environments (e.g. Metroworks for HC11). 
Is there a  quick and easy  installation procedure? Is there a GUI? What 
about a debugger?

Why not directly C?

Think about that: we do  not get paid for using a nice programming language, 
we earn our money with writing working applications (regardless what 
language we use).
