Can't understand why section "Features" is tagged "advertisement": it seems to me very neutral and objective. Hence I'm removing the tag. Since looking at the history it seems to me a "revert war" is already in act, please post the reason why you think it looks like advertisement. SalvoIsaja 14:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

See WP:SOAPBOX (which you should have read had you actually examined the template) and WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Copying and pasting a list of features without discussing why they are useful or notable is equivalent to turning this article into a promotional pamphlet. Note that articles on IDEs that are unquestionably notable, such as Visual Studio, don't rely on a laundry list of features to get the point across. Code::Blocks claims to have these features; can you verify their robustness with third-party sources? If you can, by all means please add them. If not, what makes the claim neutral? It is an unverified claim made by the first party. Ham Pastrami (talk) 18:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Since we are talking about an IDE, and I'm a regular user of IDEs, it seems to me quite pointless to discuss what features are and why there are useful. Either the IDE provides them or not. This is what makes it neutral. The feature list of this article provides to me exactly what I'm looking for: what this IDE can do for me, shortly, to the point. I think any discussion instead of the plain list would be the real bloat. I still don't understand what's the problem. Please advise. SalvoIsaja (talk) 08:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I've just seen you (Ham Pastrami) are also the one who marked this article for lack of notability, without commenting it in the log, even marking your editing as minor. I guess you have some personal bias against this IDE. May I ask you why do you think this article lacks information on the notability of the subject? SalvoIsaja (talk) 10:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the ad tag. If the poster Ham Pastrami thinks some of the listed features are not true/not working/not working correct he should comment the critizied feature. 16:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.20.192.161 (talk)
