Hello,
SciTE makes for a really awesome gateway drug. I mean it. I love it
because it is simple and yet powerful *but* knowing it will purposely
rank lower in features when compared to other IDEs is a daunting burden
to have to live with :(
I wish SciTE was extensible the way Mozilla apps are. If you really feel
a folder/file tree, multiedit panes, integrated terminal, object
exploring side bar and etc features would be too much, please, at least
make it easily extensible for others to fill the void.
I like SciTE. I love SciTE. I wish to only use SciTE and nothing else.
I sometimes browse scintilla.org hoping one day I'll see a plugin,
module, extension link, but nothing yet. I am aware of the related link
but it doesn't really pay the bills :(
I am certain, if SciTE was truly, easily extensible, some developers
would love to extend it and give back to SciTE rather than fork and
embed it into other applications. I would really enjoy extending SciTE
with the features I need, when I need them...
If turning SciTE into a greater featured IDE turns the stomach, how
about doing something to help developers create extensions, mods or
plugs? I would personaly like a file explorer and more common OOP
programming tools available directly within SciTE...
This is just all my opinion. I may be off and developers are just not
trying to extend it. I don't know the full story or the programming
language behind SciTE (I believe Lua). I wish I could help but I am just
a user. I'd really appreciate some feedback on this.
Thank you!

Would it be possible to include a "dual pane" feature in Scite in addition
to the traditional tab feature?
I tried to avoid some of the complexities of other IDEs by only
having one viewed document. You could add it on yourself but its
unlikely I'll include this in a standard distribution.
