Re: various comments about the IDE....
They're somewhat true, although the IDE does provide the basic functionality is just about usable. But it would be better if an improved version were available from BRL.
But please, please, please BRL, do NOT spend your time on the IDE. It is not your forte. IMHO, the ideal would be that the CE IDE should become the primary "official" IDE, with mark taking basic veto rights on changes / direction. I can understand completely why this might not be desirable from a support perspective, however I strongly believe that BRL could adopt a position whereby a *REALLY* basic IDE (i.e. even less than the current version, basically just highlight, compile & help) gets shipped with the product, but the CE IDE gets promoted as an optional extra download subject to community support and basic BRL support.
That might sound a rather selfish thing to say from my perspective, but I honestly believe it to be a viable way forward.
