Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 9.0/Neon is available!

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agreed. I think the strategy for CDT is to provide very simple solutions
for hobbyists. For more professional development, I think there will
always be room to provide more automation as you are doing. We just need
to make sure CDT¹s frameworks support the wide spectrum of choices.

Thanks!
Doug.
