Dao IDE tries to be perfect for those who read their first "Teach yourself C++ in 21 days" book, for those doing their homework, for those who just need small handy portable C++ IDE. For those who need to make quick tools using C++, experiment with ideas. It is not intended to work with large scale projects (although it can), it is not to "increase productivity", "laverage revenues" but rather unleash personal creative force within your soul.
