Why should it? I don't really see the need for an integrated 
development environment; in a DO-capable environment such as GNUstep, 
components just need to be aware of each other. So PC could be the hub 
that brings editor, class modeler, interface builder etc. together. 
Therefore "Project Center", as the center of project development.

To make myself clearer: Personally, I'm not a friend of (any of the 
available) IDEs at all. GNUstep offers the possibility of making the 
development environment look integrated, while in reality it consists 
of several different components that can be chosen from.

I don't think so. It's a lot more ambitious, true. But IMHO it's quite 
doable. Nothing against keeping it in mind for later and offering a 
ST-like browser right now, though. It's just that there are a number of 
things to be said against such a browser. There are also a number of 
things to be said against UML or similar graphic tools. So I think 
there should be an option for editors (e.g. between a GNUstep-ized 
Emacs/vim/other trad. text editor, Smalltalk-like code browser, 
graphical tool, ...)

Björn

We must never take these words too seriously. Words are very important, 
but then if we take them too seriously, we destory everything.
