FIRST is not in the software business. They have a different mission and vision.
If you are passionate about open source then you can help the community by not complaining but creating an alternate development environment.
You personally will have to pick up the torch and do the job. That is the way the open source environment works. Open source, volunteer driven, and you can lead the way.
Most of the work is already done for you, all you have to do is integrate it and support it. Under the hood the compilers are gcc cross compilers for power pc. You can download these build environments from many sources for free and host it on linux, windows, or mac boxes.
If you choose you can use an old style Make file for use an integrated IDE like eclipse, or another of your choosing.
