Well, you don't need it, but there are a few bug fixes the IDE will benefit from if you use it. The same goes with MaxGUI, so make sure you checkout the latest versions of both from SVN before you compile.
Ok, I got the latest MaxGui.Mod and the changed mods from BlitzMax since the release of 1.30.
Rebuild all the modules and now every MaxGui samples crashes:

I can compile and run MaxIdeCE without the changes that were suggested but then the area with Home/Code/Debug is allways empty. So it isn't much of a use I guess.
