Fair enough Reactor, but theres the other side of the coin to pretty much all you are saying. e.g.:
1st point:
What defines making peoples coding tasks quicker? For many its quick loading/compiling/running of programs.At this time there are no other Blitz IDE's that are anywhere as quick as this one, however, if its bloat you want instead, there are plenty..
2nd point:
Most people are used to having to type things in.I know its a bind,and 'lame', but thats programming im afraid.(!) If you want abstract mind reading, then maybe try the 30th generation of Rhapsody/Rational/IBM software.Hopefully when its available in 20 years time you wont have to type a thing, just think it up.For now, Im sure people wont mind writing an incremental variable line once or twice(I use cut and paste, so no real issues here) for the sake of compilation/loadup speed, as mentioned in point 1.
Point 3:
Yep, it is up to trixx at the end of the day, but the point I was trying to stress, is that there were plenty of other Blitz IDE's that could do many things for many people, but not ANY that are this quick to use.I would think that speed is of higher priority to the majority to little resource sapping 'extras'.
I dunno..perhaps we should have IDEal 'lite' for those of us who want fast results with compiling/loading up, and a 'Pro' version for those who want line renumbering,'to do' lists, and code conversion to PPC and ZX81 assembly language or whatever. ;P
