I see what you mean, and it is true that the project settings got more and more functionality over time, with e.g. the project dependencies somewhat overlapping with the build system features ... About the creator handling subdirs as aggregates ... I'm not sure what you mean. Say you load the toplevel src.pro of qt, and then build, qmake/make do handle project dependencies quite nicely. What exactly are you missing here? About the subdirs being aggregates, I'm not sure > The idea behind this is that QtCreator is (primarily) an editor, not a > build system.

I take back the "QtCreator is an editor" part, I intended it just to emphasize "it's not a full build system" :) But I agree that it would be very nice to have better support for the qmake integration.
