Stef, Yes, the popups should go away - far away :) A code mentor pane with lint rule violations would be greatly appreciated, but the modal messages are too much. Sometimes I want to save code that I know will generate errors, with reasons ranging from "I'll let it blow up and choose to implement it from the debugger" to "don't want to lose this, so let's get it accepted before I do something stupid."
