Hi,
Should we make gnome-builder a "featured" application in Workstation for F22? Builder, while still young, is already a very useful IDE for both C and Python from my experience, even when not working on GNOME apps/libraries.
Additionally, right now when searching for "IDE" in gnome-software, IDEs like Code:Blocks and Anjuta rank higher in the search result. I'll send a patch upstream later to improve Builder's appdata and keywords to try to get it higher on the list.
I really think Builder is something we should promote in Workstation, it is a very useful tool for our target audience.

hi Completely agree. Builder is anice application, and since fedora is primarily a developer focused distro, having it eitehr installed in, or easily available from, workstation makes sense. Thanks Kendell clark Sent from Fedora GNU/Linux

I don't agree; it's still too young. It's very promising, but it can't *build* anything yet, so it's not usable without a terminal open in the background (or perhaps a knowledge of Builder's js console, which I'm unfamiliar with). So I'm sticking to gedit for now.
But let's absolutely reconsider for F23.
