Cool! My new IDE will be out soon after the update.

I didn't like BlitzView's

Never even tried that, the screenshots scream "Delphi bloat and overhead".

Yeah, I agree. Bloat is bad. But say there, fellow anti-bloater, could you run this little expermiment? Compile this in Blitz and let me know what the file size is:

Open in online IDE

Graphics 640,480,16
Print "Hello World"
Delay 3000

WOW! 736k! Yeah, bloat is bad ;)

p.s. the equivalent code in PB compiles to 13k:

InitSprite()
If OpenScreen(640,480,16,"screen")
   StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
   DrawText("Hello World")
   FlipBuffers()
   StopDrawing()
   Delay(5000)
EndIf
