Well one big difference between GPS and these other systems
is that GPS is Free Software. If there ever was a case in
which you want the sources available, because you may want
to modify things, an IDE is such a case :-) We consider
that this is a really very significant point.

Well so far, it seem to be helping spread the name recognition, which is
the general idea :-) What could be better than people arguing over the
name to create name recognition?

If all the world divides up into those who think its confusing that GPS
is called GPS, and those who don't think so, then all the world knows
the name :-) :-)

At least so far no one confused our Ada compiler with a 
little bug :-)
