I think the necessary code is implemented, someone just need to make a bunch of good templates for the various modes and get it distributed, perhaps even in included in Emacs proper.

The C++ support is at least still somewhat flaky. Klaus Berndl has been working on the parser which I think is pretty good now, but the look up features in Semantic quite often don't get the context right. Quite a lot is going to happen with Semantic 2.0, though, it seems. > I don't want to abandon emacs because I use it for calendar, diary, > notes, etc. But for programming Slickedit is very interresting. In the end, editing code is still about editing text. Emacs beats everything out there for text editing.
