The templates were provided for your convenience, but you need to download the libraries on your own." we say "which will have some major open source window- graphic- and sound libraries bundled under it".
That is planned/can be done in the next versions of Code::Blocks, asociating the templates to the Dev-C++ plugin, and automatically downloading the libraries and installing them.
That probably is better than 'bundling them' -which anyways you can do it right now with Code::Blocks, instead of creating another IDE. It's Open Suorce, remember!.
I never heard anyone saying that Code::Blocks isn't user-friendly, I find it very easy to use, even for a newbie.
aggro: Not to discourage you, but I find OSS Development Studio path is
very simmilar to Code::Blocks, it indeed looks like Code::Blocks in the first versions.
This IMHO is duplicating effort, something that sadly happens very often in the Open Source world.
This also happened with wxWidgets RAD editors, there are like dozens of them, but 1 or 2 are usable.
Join efforts is better than duplicating efforts. If you don't like something of Code::Blocks, please tell us, or even better, join the development
