I have used ProjectBuilder for Palm work, but only for a while as I just cannot stand the editor! It's very easy to set up projects and targets and stuff. The basic operation is: start an 'Empty Project', then add all of the source files etc that you want in the project and finally, to get it working with your existing makefile (assuming you are not CW, I would expect you can export a makefile or convert it) you set up a target and say that it is a 'Legacy Makefile'. Once that is done you *may* have to tweak a directory path or two depending on your project structure, basically tell it where the makefile is! Once that's all done you can use Build and Clean with ease.I have a large number of active projects to start moving over; I think I'll start with the small ones and see how it goes. I also need to figure out how to better use Project Builder.
On MAC I use GDB (m68k-palmos-gdb) and while a little slow at times, it does the job. If anything it teaches you not to have to use the debugger. I also heartily recommend the MAC version of Cocoa Palm Reporter v1.0.1 thanks to Florent Pillet. Can't remember the URL offhand but Google knows!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think that the open source tools are far better once you get into them, and the support is ultimately more useful in the sense that, if you can do it, you can always get the source code and fix it yourself instead of waiting for another release.
