should CppDepend be removed?

[Harvester57]

But what would be the rationale to remove it from the list ?

I briefly checked out the tool, or at least its installation. Once you download and unpack the archive (tar.gz format) (using the link posted by @andy5995), running the tool allows you to start the 14 day evaluation period. That being said... the GUI does not render correctly at all. It's so bad that I'm not able to use the tool correctly (seems to be some hdpi scaling issues or just bad GUI design).

It also seems that the visual studio add-ons are not available as a trial.

I might check out the console version later on, but for now I have to conclude that the GUI version of the tool is not usable. So far not that awesome...

I agree that this is a sup-par user-experience and it might mislead people into downloading and testing the tool only to find out that it's not matching our standards. Hence, i suggest to add a :warning: sign to it for the time being.

Okay i think that will do for now. If we want to remove it completely, we can discuss that at a later point in time. Thanks for raising this topic @andy5995.
