RE: Improving Emacs for writing code

I realise that I should check for myself, but to save me time, does it use
tree-widget.el for displaying tree structures or does it have it's own
lisp functions?

The reason I ask is that I currently use the speedbar to display watch
expressions as a tree-like structure in a Gdb session in Emacs (gdb-ui.el) and
it's not really suitable.  I want to use more than window and the use of a
timer in the speedbar makes updating awkward at times.

Also if other things like CEDET are going to be merged into Emacs and they use
the speedbar, I may have to undo any damage that I have done to it getting
it to work for watch expressions, so an alternative mechanism would be useful.

I'm not very familiar with ECB but perhaps it could work with gdb-ui.el in a
manner similar to Eclipse: ECB being one 'perspective', gdb-ui another,
