I don't know if anyone has mentioned JX.

JX is a "componentware" application developement tool that has a
large number of components, including ACE, and a nice integrated
developement environment.

If you are looking to develope applications, and you are either
willing to release your source or willing to share your profits
(yes, Virginia, yet another license), it is a damn nice thing.

The web site is at:

	http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/features.html

Caveat: You should probably use the g++28 port instead of the default
egcs; they both have a "thunks" bug, but egcs has another bug that
keeps a number of the modules from working.
