If you read my post again, you'll see that I am contrasting GPS to
.Net, Eclipse, and Borland tools. The point I am trying to make is
that ACT is charging a fortune for a toolset that falls far short of
what other vendors are charging. IMO, the GPS and GtkAda tools are not
in the same league as .Net, Eclipse, JBuilder, others.

Of course, you are right in saying that one could write or use an
Eclipse plugin for Ada. My original post makes note of a plugin for
Eclipse that Aonix offers.
