I agree to this basically, however the BlitzMax's default IDE should be the first seen one to new users, compare it with PureBasic's IDE, the BMax one is really lacking of some decent functions.
TGB is for quick games as you said, but it also provides script interface and source(optional), it's much more serious tool than we think, and I'm running v1.5 to test it out if there's existing glitches.
