There is no dominant IDE (much less so a crossplatform one) and there seems to
be a lot flux on which IDE is the en vouge one each year. Thus aiming to have
simple, stable and robust build environment that is generic and independant is
key -- whatever is the IDE du jour should be able to integrate that easily.

The second follows the first, not the other way around. Thus aim for the first
to get the second.
