What would really help is a small demo video just to get a whiff of what the IDE feels like. The description and screenshots are somehow not enough for me to download and install an entire IDE and take a test drive. If there is a demo video somewhere, my apologies - I was not able to find it.
There's one on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDlWk_Z7JPQ

Perhaps because not everyone is doing development on KDE? The Ninja-IDE supports linux, windows, and osx so it has broader appeal.
That's a good point, although I feel that "development on KDE" needs a response: KDevelop isn't limited to making KDE applications, and KDE applications like KDevelop aren't limited to running inside the KDE shell - the major Linux desktops are quite interoperable today as far as running applications goes. Furthermore, generally speaking KDE apps are also available for Windows (via the KDE Windows installer) and OS X…

I would rather have developers work on the IDE than make yet another GUI interface for Git. You have the command line for that.
I think you mean "yet another GUI for Git." "GUI Interface" expands to "Graphical User Interface Interface." Sorry, I could not help myself.

I personally don't feel like downloading all the hundreds of megabytes of KDE runtimes just to fire up an IDE for a test run (this is on Xubuntu).
It is FOSS (GPLv3). The license information was a wee bit hard to find (Wayyy down on the about page http://ninja-ide.org/about/ ) and I first thought it was some frankenstein freemuim product where you had to apply for a free license if you were an OSS devel (like PyCharm) etc. etc. I gave it a whirl: 1. Snappy, which is nice, since PyCharm can be sluggish on my Mac 2. No VCS integration 3. By default very strict co…
I'm not sure why, but I've never used the VCS integration in an IDE.
I won't say it's indispensable, but it is handy. I don't miss it outside of Netbeans though.

It's useless noise - the parent's intention was clear
Just because a statement's meaning is clear doesn't make it easy to read. Even seemingly minor errors (such as mixing up "it's" with "its") disrupts the flow of reading.

An interesting message board feature would be the ability to (self) tag posts plus a filtering mechanism to allow users to avoid grammer or spelling nitpicks. Or they could be styled differently. Instead a full reply, it'd be an asterisk that you'd hover over to read if you really wanted to.
