The main thing I wish the standard IDE did was intellisense like Visual Studio.
I use BLide as well, and I would say that if you just close (Well put them on autopoop), all the seperate Panes, then all you have is a code window with intellisense.The main benifit of BLide for me, is that if I think something is missing, I Post in one of Ziggys threads on these boards, and he either tells me why it cannot be added, or more often adds that feature. This level of support is amazing, and something I have never seen for any other product. (But probably users of IDeal will say the same of that)
(And I agree, you cannot really use a Object based Language without intellisense)
