The new QtCreator 1.3 is a definite improvement over the older version. There are still some problems though; off the top of my head:

- it's a bit on the slow side
- missing basic features such as insert/overwrite mode
- autocompletion of header files doesn't cope with relative paths

There are a lot more issues but to be fair these are annoyances rather than show-stoppers. I do like the fact that it behaves more or less the same on Linux and Windows.

All in all a good effort guys but don't stop yet.

"- missing basic features such as insert/overwrite mode"

Insert/overwrite mode is considered a gross misfeature by some. Like me. Very rarely useful, and it's not that hard to turn it on by accident.
