It's really good, and there is an ide package for it called fbide (mainly for windows). It's self extracting and installs just about anything you need. The compiler uses a QBasic like syntax and supports higher screen modes, c libraries (i.e. Open GL, Open AL, SDL, etc.), pointers, and more. While it's still in its infancy it's really come a long way, and eventually the author plans to move it to the gcc backend to support oop and c++ libraries. And even though it can't beat Blitz in terms of writting games, I do think it's going to become a very powerful BASIC.
