CodeWarrior for Palm is an _old_ product, I grant you. When I used it first ( 
'96 I believe ) it was a crappy port of a Mac program that tried to run a Mac 
IDE on a PC. It sucked. As did the next version, and the next.

In 2005 - Stable ?:

  Yes, it is - although, for example, my 9.2 regularly crashes, loses the 
cursor, causes internal compiler errors for some simple constructs, this does 
not happen often enough to be painful. IMHO

In 2005 - Mature ?:
  
  No, it is, IMHO, not. One still cannot easily build a 68K project that calls 
ARM code and one cannot debug that project when one does manage to build it. 
One still cannot AFAIK, build an ARM-only program. Too many minor parts of the 
IDE are wrong or broken, and stay that way:

  It does not remember the directory you were last using.
  Try selecting the name of the file you are working on from the Path: field in 
the editor window - you cannot.
  Try resizing the columns in the project window - you can't. Try sorting them 
by clicking on the column header - it's broke.
  Try switching to the compile errors window from the Window menu  - it's not 
there.
  Try passing macros via the command line - you can't.
  One has to reload a file to get it into version control after logging in, and 
lots of version control functionality just isn't there.
  Help files refer to Old versions of the IDE and old SDKs.
  etc. etc.

In other words, I will not miss CodeWarrior for Palm. But, it seems that there 
is nowhere to go from here!
