RHIDE is great for developing multi-source projects. That is what I use it
for. But surely it is possible to *develop* single files with an IDE as
well? How can you use make to edit a single file (which is what I was on
about in the first place)? And I think you'll agree that an RHIDE project is
far easier to manage than a makefile... (especially if you don't know how to
program makefiles). And some IDEs can create makefiles from their projects.
