Honestly, Justin, I wonder re: the validity of Minimal Viable Product here, unless your potential customer pool is 1 (one). A Jedi never sells his lightsaber, and you're liable to cut yourself on mine if you borrow it. But analogies aside, I think the value of this exercise diminishes quickly once you start imagining what another developer wants and stop asking yourself what you need. The overlap between different developers' needs is interesting in the abstract but less practical in building one's own IDE.
An anxiety of mine in this exercise is that someone will imagine so many different things that people might need, that we/they'll end up with another VS, or worse yet, a plug-in ecosystem (Eclipse anyone?). Am I alone here? I'm happier that way, if I am, anyway ;-) Tim On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 4:35 PM, Justin Bozonier <[email protected]>wrote: > Haha! > > No way! Dog food it!
