I like the way Visual Studio does it. There's an option to always reload
externally modified files, but even then, if the file has been modified in
VS, it will ask if you want to lose your changes by reloading the file. As
Emacs does something very similar, I think it is the right way to go:)

I too am looking forward to this change. This would give me a pretty seamless
way to use Emacs as my editor, thus reducing, although not removing entirely,
my least favorite aspect of Qt Creator. I know there was some talk in the
mailing list (or forum?) about an Emacs keymap, which would be even better.
