At the moment you pays your money and you can use GPS or GLIDE (which
is Emacs with an upgraded ada-mode incorporated, conversions from GNAT
Project files to the ada-mode .adp format, and some startup things).

*Personally* I find ada-mode excellent and see no benefit from GPS,
though

(a) I suspect it's not GPS per se I find less than compelling so much
as the style of IDE that it represents;

(b) I guess GPS is intended to attract people who _are_ used to that
kind of IDE;

(c) I develop mainly on Linux while the project is supported on
Windows, and life's too short to get a consistent set of gtk, gtkada
etc and learn how to build with it (compared to installing the
pre-built GPS for NT).
