I've recently worked with QtCreator, and while there is still a lot to do, it isn't that bad either. Or at least it's on the right track - the editor itself isn't that great, and has annoying features (like smart indenting that always gets in your way) you cannot turn off, or only in a way that it annoys, too. But the IDE part often works nicely (term completion, help, function popup, etc.), if you don't consider a versioning system to be part of an IDE. Since we would probably want a fabulous Jam integration, I'm not sure if that could be easily hacked in there, but maybe, after having ported Qt, this would make as a good playground to start off working.
