I agree. GPS 5.1.1 is very good and easy to use. There is no reason to start with AdaGIDE.

This is good advice as well. The GPS new project wizard can get you started but from that point on its better to maintain the GNAT Project (.gpr) file manually, especially if you use scenario variables.
.gpr files are easy to understand and very powerful (just read the users guide). A brief (2 to 10 line) project file may be all you initially need. It would be a Good Thing if other Ada vendors would adopt a gpr-like project structure.
