I have exactly the same comment about MS Visual Studio :). By
"configured right" I mean "does what I want it to do".

Certainly if you find AdaGIDE to be perfect (or at least Great), you
will never like Emacs. To each his/her own!

I must point out that there is _no_ way to "add packages" to AdaGIDE,
so you seem to be somewhat inconsistent here.

In the same vein, it is very difficult for me to write a new package
for MSVS, whereas I can easily (and have) write new packages for
Emacs. Open Source rules!
