Plain YES. I'm just waiting for the GUI that actually DOES > that. :-) Try KDevelop. It brings together an editor, file manager, debugger, etc. into a single application. Similarly I find the KDE file manager can increase productivity for _certain_ things such as working on a remote filesystem (via ssh/samba/ftp) because it brings ssh/ftp functionality to a file manager. I do still find it more efficient to use the command-line when working locally though :) -- Bruce Cran
