I love threads like this - It will surely diverge quickly into an editor
war, but before that happens..


An IDE imho is all about one thing - productivity
------
With that in mind can you give a clear language specific example how
your idea will enable the developer to do something more efficiently and
faster. In Fortran, C or C++ where do you think the most time is spent?


For Java I found IntelliJ to really raise the bar in terms of being
helpful and "intelligent". That level of language integration I think
is a cornerstone to start with. From there figure out other usability
elements which cause you to not be happy. Take $IDEOFCHOICE - strip
the interface down and see what tasks you'd most commonly perform..


You need to clearly define the problem before you can really get to the
root and solve it.
