They do one other thing well, and that's Developer
Studio.  Why can't somebody make a decent IDE, or
more to the point a decent debugger, for Linux?  I've
futzed around with Eclipse, but while it has problems
of its own, the biggest problem is that it sits
on top of gdb, which is just blatantly broken.
