[Qt-creator] Feedback

[Greg Santucci]

Qt Creator is excellent. When I use it, I get the impression
that it was designed thoughtfully to have exactly the kinds
of features you want when working on a Qt project, and
nothing superfluous or distracting.

The navigation feature is especially innovative and
helpful.

I especially like the way the project settings are
presented in Qt Creator. Qt Creator takes care of the
tedious bits, and lets you edit things that make sense to
edit, such as the environment variables that are set when
building the project. One odd thing: When you create a new
project, both the "debug" and "release"
configurations have the word "debug" as a Make
argument, causing the release version to not get built. I
can change this manually and it works fine from then on.

The very first thing I tested when I installed Qt Creator
was the debugging facility. Through no fault of Qt Creator,
the weird behaviour of MingW gdb let it down a little. For
example, the "interrupt" feature doesn't work.
Qt Creator seems to hang for a bit, then disconnect from the
app its debugging. I've seen the same problem with MingW
gdb in non-Qt projects as well.

The integration of the Qt Designer is flawless. Overall, Qt
Creator presents all the best aspects and features of Qt API
in a beautiful, friendly, immediately useful way.

Thank you very much for this excellent tool.
