How do you like Freescale Codewarrior compared to other IDEs?

What is your opinion of Freescale's Codeware IDE?

A piece of nonsense. I really suffer with the wonderfull
CodeWar/Windoze couple these past weeks.

It really unfortunate that gcc has not been ported to Freescale 56000/E
processors

I played with it a while back. Their "java beans" defined a constant
that was renamed with a #define three times in three header files
before finally being declared as a constant.
None of the intermediate names were referenced anywhere.
What junk.

ex:

#define name1 name2
#define name2 name3
#define name3 0x1234

I don't like it very much, especially the debugger.  I am spoiled by
using Rowley's Cross Studio for the MSP430.  (For the record,  I do
NOT recommend using the MSP430 processor except in certain
applications.)

I do not use the editor portion of the IDE since I already have one I
like.  Fortunately, CW lets me edit outside of the environment fairly
well, but has to be reminded to check for edited files before it
re-compiles.

It compiles OK, but sometimes it seems the code it generates is less
efficient than it could be.

How does HATE sound.to you.

It came as part of the ARM developers toolkit that I had to suffer.
Fortunately It was quite easy to use another editor in its place and
simply ues it as the world's most expensive make utility.

Sounds about right to me.  I also used it with the ARM ADS.  It does give 
the ability to double-click an error message  to edit the source file.

Compiler and path settings always seem incomplete and/or poorly structured. 
The compiler settings for a PPC project were much worse.  Very limited GUI 
ability which made it impossible to set some command line options.
