Multi-Platform Support

KDevelop has been built to support 12 programming languages, 5 build tools, 11 documentation formats, 4 revision control systems, and more! It's designed as a cross-platform app that works great on GNULinux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and other UNIX-like systems. Plus, you can find it in the default software repositories of many Linux distributions.
