Yes creator is nice in that regard. What I had in mind is, for example that Qt Creator, like most IDEs, works best when the project has one single build target. Multiple build targets are really inconvenient. This causes people to pack all functionality into a single program. Other development environments produce lots of small programs for a related purpose, like for example git. This is easy to do with make. I'm not saying that one approach is better than the other, it depends on the application. I'm saying that the structure is often an artifact of the development environment, not a result of what is best for the application. That is the part that's bad. That is why it is better to have alternatives to Qt Creator.
