Hi,

I'm glad that you are undertaking the work to get a quality IDE working for FIRST. However, I'm confused about a couple of things.

Why are you writing an entirely new program when you could create scripts or plugins for one of the incredibly functional editors already out there? (VIM, EMACS, Eclipse, jEdit etc.) Not that I have a big problem with another editor, but it seems like you're reinventing the wheel a little bit here.

Also, why .NET? That leaves out a significant userbase of Linux and Mac users. Then these users will have to duplicate the fine work you're doing on the Windows platform if they want similar functionality. See the problem?

Again, please take these as suggestions, not angry demands.
