And IntelliSense/autocompletion would also be nice :)

Is it my turn? :)
I?m using both BeIDE and Pe but more and more I?m using Pe and Jam. For me
BeIDE are simple way of having all the source files in a project with the
libs that I need, you just drip the lib and the source code you like, hit
CONTROL + m to build (or r to run). If it wasn?t for BeIDE I would never
have started to program for BeOS and nor for Haiku. But now I'm starting
to find other ways of doing the same thing.
