Something which bugs me too and did cost me some hair.
(I wonder why they do not fix it ?!)

Another point is that the IDE does not support environmet variables in the
pre-processor tabs which means if you change e.g. from one RTOS version
to another you have to change also the project.
Others do better here.

But other than this, I like the build tool, esp. it is possible to have
per file options that differ from global options.
Only pity here, you can't choose ARM or Thumb mode on a per file basis.
AFAIK you have to use pragmas.

The (German) support is quiet responsiv though bug fixes sometimes take too
long. There are others doing better (but also worser).

One big negative point about IAR (and many others):
It does not work under linux :(
So I stick for my daily work with emacs,make,gcc and a debugger from a
Bavarian manufacturer ;-)
