I guess you don't see my point indeed. Nowhere did I say I endorse
Visual Studio as a good IDE (it did not even have refactoring support
until, what, 2005?). But if Ana is going to have to use it anyway for
her classes, I don't see why she shouldn't use an IDE that's close in
ease-of-learning.

Plus, there are things about the standard GNU toolchains, especially
the build tools (autoconf/automake) that are quite intimidating (and
at the same time, mundane) at first. KDevelop will generate automake
and autoconf scripts for you:

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdevelop/kdevelop/makesystems.html#automake-project

I like using traditional editors too, but I recognise that a modern
IDE has its place: Vi(m)/Emacs for languages and tools you are already
familiar with, KDevelop/Eclipse/etc. for either large projects or for
languages you are still learning (before someone says "Vi/Emacs can do
that too!", let me ask if either has Javadoc / Ndoc support)
