um.. well, thats not entirely true.

they all use the gcc compiler backend; and, just provide
an interface for the 'i need an IDE type people'. as it is
right now, you can use:

  codewarrior (for symbian)
  borland builder
  microsoft visual studio
  
and, of course, lets not forget the good old command line
interaction. it means squat that metrowerks have an IDE
for it; of course symbian wants people to be able to use it.

lets not make such remarks - if an IDE can support calling
command line tools; it can be used with symbian sdk. 

i actually had to purchase the metrowerks IDE in order to
get access to the P800 SDK - and, it was the biggest waste
of money i have ever put into any development tools. i know
the gcc used by symbian is very old (1998), and, i was 
expecting a new arm compiler in the codewarrior package.

i just eventually ended up removing the IDE, and, just 
getting access to the raw gcc and the header files. was
of no value at all for me.
