First, exception handling is broken and must be fixed ASAP. Example feedback report "sbuwicsb".
YES! Major problem for me. If my users get an unhandled exception in an RBScript, the entire app gets taken out with a hard crash.
- Create a separate PDF that describes RBScript in all its gory details that we can distribute with our programs so that our customers can have a base reference to read.
YES! I had to roll my own, and it's not particularly good or complete. It would also be nice if it was available as, say, an RTF document so that our own script extensions could be merged in.
- I would like to see an RBScript editor control implemented.
YES! Is there a feedback report I can sign up for?
- Implement multiple context object. See Feedback report "rmfdkyqu". With the ability to assign multiple context objects, we can manage our software support for RBScript in ways that will make RBScript a joy to implement.
This would certainly help, and reduce the size of the 2000+ lines of source code I have to prepend to my RBScripts.

I cannot comment on the broken exception handling as I have not played = with this yet. If I might ask, how is it broken and are there workarounds?
You have, actually :^) AstroPlanner uses RBScripting extensively. Try running a script that, say, does a divide by zero or accesses an array outside of bounds and see what happens. It is supposed to call a runtime error method in the RBScript object, but doesn't. Just hard crashes instead. This bug has been around forever. RS won't comment on it.
