Oh I agree totally, Mark. I know that a relatively small group have put a lot of effort in. This highlights the problem of a community solution. A lot of people (and I include myself in this) want these tools but don't want to work on them. Though far from ideal (no pun intended), at least a supported community IDE would allow gradual improvement by the users.
If it were the "official" IDE, I think it would have marginally more support. Those already involved would have more motivation to add to it as well - there is an "almost ready" code area including function folding in the repository to add in, but it's not a small job, and previously had little motivation to expend that effort.
And in real terms, the CE IDE has probably had more attention paid to it than the official one, even if that still isn't all that much!
