I think 4D is finally facing up to the reality that to move forwards in a 
meaningful way it to needs to shake off the legacy of storing everything in its 
own proprietary internal format in the structure - that is the single reason 
why we have been kept waiting for so long for proper integration with source 
code control systems. CVS and Subversion have been around for 20+ years whilst 
Git has been the de-facto choice for many years now.

4D's Method Editor quite frankly is and always has been a very, very basic 
editor. Hopefully things will improve but it will be a while I guess...

    Narinder,
    This is a good point. Previously 4D has been sort of development
    environment with its own editors and so forth.
    But now we are starting to look for it to be more of an IDE. Especially
    with the Projects option coming where the 4D part is all stored in text
    files.
