There's still arguably a role for a lean IDE like MC as a test bed for discerning whether a given issue encountered in LC is in the engine or the IDE. But given the many enhancements in the engine, attempting to maintain MC as a productive alternative delivered a lower ROI than simply

Did you try to use the Rev/LC IDE? maybe it is a bit more specific about the error. Another thing to consider is using a different version of the engine for your game. Older engines do have compatibility problems with some newer OS features, and newer version might interpret existing code
