Ahh? I mean select WHAT project to make, not make some blank project with
one form (old Delphi style). Can already have that made, or even better not
make it at all (I hate it with Delphi 7 that I have to close the form it
makes after I start the IDE - sometimes I just want to make a console
project, so I view the project source and add {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} on top, but
have to answer the silly question on whether I want to save the form, plus
edit the project source to remove the form code [if I do File/New console
project I answer 2 silly questions, to save the form and the project if I
remember well what Delphi7 did])

Time is money, also people get tired after a while repeating such things -
user friendly GUIs are task-oriented and also personalized (both
auto-adapting showing recent items etc. and configurable in an easy way
[drag-drop / or by example] by the user)

Our audience should also be new developers. The IDE / language they choose
first to work will sometimes become their loved one if it doesn't scare them
from the beginning

I'm afraid I can't do it. I send e-mails from another server and want to
receive them from another one (it's an issue with my connection)
