Yes - I read that. I just don't see how its useful in C development. I'm not saying it is not useful. Just that I don't see what its for. Mea culpa. The code navigation doesn't seem to do much and the decoration modes are not particularly helpful. I guess it could do with some sort of tutorial as I played with it a while and didn't really see what benefits it gave. Maybe you could describe how you use it? > > ECB is a collection of tools supposed to give better code browsing (hence > the name) tools, as opposed to the ones aimed at writing code.

I realise that, but its kind of a must have when switching between things like ecb and gnus IMO. --
