Qt Creator - A fun way to code Qt

Last November I came across a new lightweight C++ IDE named Qt Creator which is being developed at Qt Software (former Trolltech). Qt Creator is supposed to provide everything a Qt programmer needs, and it actually quite good at keeping its promise. At first I used it in parallel with Eclipse, but since Christmas it has been my primary IDE. In March I upgraded to the newly relesed version 1.00, which is the version I currently use.

All basic features expected to be found in an advanced text editor / IDE are supported, e.g. syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, (un-)commenting code, code folding, bookmarks etc. But also more advanced features are supported like code completion and error highlighting.

I like the easy code navigation and powerful search features, but I really miss code refactoring support which I hope the trolls will soon add. The integrated help is useful after you learn to remember that it's not located in the same window as the editor, this is frustrating when you out of old habit try to Alt-Tab yourself away from the Qt Assistant window.
I have very mixed feelings about the project view, but maybe I'm not using it correctly. I would like it to also show other files than the ones present in .pro files e.g. configuration files.

Since I work with Scratchbox I haven't familiarized myself that much with the building and debugging facilities provided. I did however get Qt Creator to compile inside Scratchbox but it generated the Makefiles wrong and I didn't have time to look into the problem. The form editor seems to be an integrated version of the normal Qt Designer, which is ok to use.

Support for two popular version control systems, Subversion and Git, is also available.

Qt Creator even contains vi key-bindings so vi users can feel at home. Sadly Emacs users are still left out in the cold.

Oh, I almost forgot, it's cross platform.
