IMHO, BeIDE adds very little value. Actually its best feature is the source
level debugger. The editor is good, but Pe is even better. The project
management is, well, minimal and is no good fit for bigger projects. And
for small projects you can as well use the makefile-engine + Eddie/Pe.
In my eyes, something that would really add value would have the power of
Eclipse for Java: syntax-based autocompletion, live documentation, code
templates, refactoring (!), instant compilation, integrated support for
SCMs ... And some of those are really tough calls for a C++ IDE.
Anyway, just as a browser and an office solution, a fully featured IDE is
nothing Haiku should even try to tackle. It's a third-party opportunity.
CU, Ingo
