OK, Descent is quite usefull to write code in Eclipse with its convenient 
source code editor. But what's missing here is the integration with 
Eclipse's build system: You have to use rebuild.exe of DSSS in an aditional 
external build configuration in order to compile your source code. Launching 
and debugging the executable is also nit quite forward: You have to setup 
the launch configuration by hand, the default behavior is not correct. And 
when using the debugger DDBG in Eclipse, the same problems as in 
Code::Blocks apply: Evaluating expressions works only for some very basic 
variable types. If you want to display global variables, you have to prefix 
the variable name with the module name by hand.

So currently it's all not quite ready to be used without problems. And in no 
way comparable to using the VC++ IDE for C++ programs.
