You didn't see the first versions of GPS! Presently GPS is quite good. OK,
the debugger is a total crap, but it is not GPS's fault, but the gdb's one.
Project setting dialog is unusable, but nobody would create gpr files using
it anyway. I would just throw it away in AdaCore's place. GPS also has some
problems, which are rather to addressed to GTK.

Eclipse is certainly much worse than GPS, slow, ugly, unstable. I hope
AdaCore will abandon GNATBench and concentrate all efforts on GPS.
