I'm sure flashdevelop would be a great platform... if you dont care about mac & linux. Unfortunately lots of people do. Of course the flashdevelop guys can do what they want, as can everybody else. But if there were to be a major effort to make a universal toolset, it wouldnt make much sense to focus that effort on a win32 only platform IMHO.
Now that said, I think that the biggest issue is largely platform agnostic. Its realtime error detection. I have never written a error detecting editor, like flex builder or FDT, or whatever, but it seems to me that what really needs to be done is focus on the core technology. If an editor could "call" a function with a set of relevant parameters every time the user typed, and asynchronously recieve feedback about where errors were, this would make, I would think, adding such functionality to *any* editor easy. Then it could be used in flashdevelop or asdt/hxdt etc. It seems to me that this is entirely a *non* user interface function and that the biggest issue would be defining the API and protocol for the communication between the editor and the checker. There are people that are very good with languages and command line stuff that could really rock with this kind of separation. I cant define the spec personally because I just dont know much about it but if someone were willing to help define that specification and then we could get others (for example nicolas) to provide an error checker for a given language (like haxe) that supported the API, then we could easily mix and match error detection and IDEs. This would be ideal. So first, I would put out a call to people like the flashdevelop team, the asdt guys, the aptana guys to help create an IDE to error detector universal API/Interface. Any takers?
