Hi Heather
I agree that CW7 is a massive step in the right direction and that non-specific "CW
sucks" rants are utterly pointless ('cause for a start it doesn't REALLY suck) but..
1. It would be nice if we could use the settings dialogs without a mouse (ie tab into
ALL fields IN ORDER and edit their values)
2. It would also be nice if tabbing in the project explorer did more than just move
the selection randomly around the file list
3. and the "Palm" menu had an accelerator key
4. As Dave said - more RAD - ie wizards for inserting form handlers and new classes
etc. (not a lot of effort required)
5. The debugger still isn't as smooth as I would like
6. The IDE just doesn't "look" nice - not when compared to something like falch.net
And of course there's constructor - but I know it's not your problem.
Well - I hope this is specific enough for you..
Fergal..
