1. Without asking you to break any commitments: does near future means 6 mos?
   a. yes b. no c. can't tell

2. How speedy it is on a reasonable devel machine? Like 500 MHz x86 CPU with
plenty of RAM? Or on a 350 MHz SPARC?

3. How good is the class browser?

4. Support for key bindings? Support for VI emulation?

5. Tags support? I mean put the cursor over a word and type <magic> and you
jump to the definition.

6. Autocompletion?

7. diff/patch support?

8. Plugins for RCS/CVS/Subversion/ClearCase?

9. <wishfull_thinking mode="pie-in-the-sky">
      Compilable with gcj to native code?
   </wishfull_thinking>

Thanks,
florin

PS. A simple "can't tell but I will post this to the internal wish list" would
do. Really.
