By coincidence, I have been seriously thinking about this same type of
idea for the past few weeks and the IDE I have been looking at is
JEdit:

http://jedit.org/

JEdit is a mature programmer's editor that is very modular,
customizable, and programmable.  One can use it to write CPython code
and Jython code and I think it would work well as an IDE front end for
SAGE.

One advantage that JEdit has is that, aside from being able to run on
multiple operating systems, I think it can be packaged an applet that
would also be able to run inside of a browser.  This means that this
applet can be served to the client from SAGE's web server.

Anyway, I don't see an IDE front end as a replacement for the notebook
( which I really like), but rather, I see it as an option to explore.

If you play with JEdit and decide that you like it, let me know and
perhaps we can see if we can get it to talk to SAGE.
