Foster > It has the useful ability to split the screen into as many parts and have different documents open in each one, and sessions that you can use to save the split screen layout and all the documents you had open. It doesn't have true code completion, it just auto hints based on what has already been typed into the current document. The spellchecker is useful too, but it isn't code-aware, so keeps suggesting the 'correct' spelling for function names! I do love it though. I've been using KDE for years too, the interface just seems more modern and intuitive than on Gnome, although I might give Gnome 3 a whirl when that gets released.
