Whether you use Tinybl, PDFUSB, and another bootloaders, required compiler arguments can be different. Switching from one to another should be easy (not filling an environment panel again and again). Beside default profiles, user should be able to define their own. Easily done with Editra Launch plugin. - I'd like to provide some day a GUI for Firmata, accessible from IDE. This points to the lack of plugins architecture. With such an architecture, you can enrich functionalities, as indepent modules. - a general approach would be to be provide, when necesary, GUI to deal with shields. Or, for instance, when using a specific shield, showing the corresponding documentation. Just some ideas... - last but not least, cross-platform...
