The C framework doesn't seem to be quite there yet, but there's a great deal of potential, including what looks like a good code templates implementation.
I think it's got two strengths: firstly you can download the full source (Java) so it's infinitely reconfigurable, and secondly IBM, Borland and a stack of other companies are pouring bucketloads of money into it, possibly under a project subtitled "The courts won't let us give away a Visual Studio competitor but we can sure as hell fund an open source project that has the same effect". Definitely worth keeping an eye on, particularly by anyone selling IDE's.
