My point wasn't that Nim must have its _own_ IDE. My point was that having an IDE is a major point wrt uptake and that Nim just happened to have some considerable effort going into 2 IDEs but left them unfinished.
Well noted, my line isn't what _I_ personally like or want but what is generally and widely considered as strongly desirable (see for example plenty of questions on stackoverflow and elsewhere along the line "Is there a good IDE for [any language]?"). As a side mote I also find that point interesting because one does not need to be a Nim guru to create e.g. syntax highlighting for some of the top 10 editors and afaik even way more is within mere mortals reach (e.g. auto-completion) or a gdb interface. That means that the Nim core team could be (at least largely) kept free from that burden yet the language could gain attractivity. Of course the precondition is enough users being convinced enough that their investment makes sense (which again probably is an analog of the general perception and uptake of Nim).
