Let's not lose focus. What you ask for has not much 
to do with an IDE created for Harbour, inside Harbour 
repository.

We should focus on Harbour and closely related tools 
and purposes, instead of making a HBIDE a coffee machine 
and a general purpose web browse, e-mail client and 
operating system.

Unless of course it's fine for most users to tolerate 
a HBIDE with dismal startup time, and the heavy weight 
of a Microsoft tool.

Do you really need all these features?

HBIDE already does too many things, appending more 
stuff to it will make it unusable for a source/project 
editor, which is supposed to be its original purpose.

I see signs of featuritis around HBIDE.
