That's true, but it's different, you cannot use the IDE to alter your
project files, which is IMHO a limitation when you are a developer (as
oppose to a reader or a builder).
Don't get me wrong, i think the generators are cool. But what i'm
talking here is support for Qbs inside the IDE.
Visual Studio Code is rather interesting; no plans for that yet but
it's something I definitely want to look at.
Maybe an extension could be written, if their extension API allows for that.

Hi all,
This is a friendly email, about something that i recently
realised: Wide adoption of Qbs is limited by IDE support of Qbs.
The case I have is: Our code base has 1 reference build system, and
this is MSVC (and it sucks!). Since our products (not Qbs product,
my company's product) runs on embedded Linux, the second build
system used is qmake (we have a python script that kind-of parse
MSVC solution/projects, and puke qmake files). Since the python
script sucks too, some people have added support for CMake. And now
there's me: I am/was considering adding support for Qbs.
Why Qbs cannot win over CMake? The answer is IDE support for the
build system.
Apparently Visual Studio and Visual Code (works on Linux too!) now
both support CMake in place of msvc, when (if it happens) will they
support Qbs?
I have co-worker who use Linux every-day, but yet they prefer
Visual Code over QtC, and visual code doesn't support Qbs, at this
stage there is no point in trying to push for Qbs, for this very
simple reason
Any thoughts?
Chris
