I'm not going to say anything bad about Eclipse, I have used it and thought it was very cool. I just think Visual Studio is a great development tool. I don't understand how on oneside you can defend the Blitzmax IDE and on the other say Visual Studio is bad.

As far as what I'd like to see in the BlitzMax IDE would be.
1. Code Folding with support for user defined regions
2. F1 shows help for user functions
3. Autocomplete that works with user functions
4. Documentation for running your own mod server.
5. Gutter support, with option to have line numbers.
6. Debug support with Locals window and watches.

It comes with drinking and getting mad at people trying to tear down someone just because they ask for documentation.

Cool man, I know all about having bad bosses. I'd probably be running my own painting business if it wasn't for the fact that my back gave out. In the end, I'm very happy where I'm at. I am confused about the whole dev scene though, seems like buzz words rule the day and over complicated solutions are applauded. Good thing I work somewhere were they don't care what tools you use, they just focus on results.
