It's a bit flakey, never ever grab the toolbar and drag it out of the window.
(there is a way to recover from the mess that causes without erasing the
..anjuta .gnome and .gnome2 directories but I forget which files it is you
need to nuke)

Some of the other controls are worse than useless too (eg detach a page and
you can't paste to it), but atleast they cause no permanent damage.

The serch is a bit odd too.

I have not tested the build stuff. it seems to be targeted to auto tools,
and mostly I use scons instead (as I can get i586mingw-msvcrt cross sompiling
to work under scons after bodging pkg-config a little)

That said the popups of function prototypes etc are handy, I use it regularly.

some people use gedit for editing source.
