It's still not at the same level -- the addition of Designer just makes 
KDevelop a more complete IDE.  To be a RAD environment, KDevelop would need 
to ship with a full complement of very-high-level objects or components that 
handle things like databases, web development, 'net development, and the like.

Hmm... well, maybe I'll back up a little.  KDevelop+Designer *is* a bit of a 
RAD tool when combined with the power of Qt2+KDE 2.x libraries.  And since 
you can't get KDevelop without KDE, you could make the argument that they are 
shipped together.
