Just a warning that people probably shouldn't spend too much time on 
the current IDE:
we should consider it at the end of its useful life. The W toolkit on 
which it
is built predates even Appearance Manager, and it's design has resisted 
any
attempt to make it appearance-mgr compatible. Moreover, nowadays we 
have Cocoa,
which would do a lot of things automatically, and there are lots
of all-singing-all-dancing edit widgets and other things available that 
we could
put to good use.

Some time next week I'd like to start a discussion on what people would 
like
to see for the future, and what they're willing to help with. 
Cocoa-ification
of IDE and Package Manager is going to be topmost on my list, that
much I know:-)
