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.
