Sorry, Richard, I did mean to reply in the affirmative: a one-click solution for setting up MC would be welcome.

It would be interesting to learn of anything you find there that's
attractive.  MC is getting old, and the more they make radical changes
to the engine the harder it is to set up.  We can easily fix the setup
stuff, but as my last question here was asking who wants a simpler setup
and it went unreplied perhaps there's my answer on how much interest
there is in this at all.

Then again, we read of many complaints about the Rev IDE on the main
list, and Galaxy/Consellation has quite a few followers, so it would
seem there would be room for an open source alternative -- maybe.

Rev-based IDEs address an ultra-tiny market that's already fragmented as
it is.  I still can't get much work done in Rev, and I hear most of my
clients curse as they use it, but if there's only three or four of us
still using MC it does rather raise questions about the effort.

I keep trying Rev, and I always end up back in MC for any real work. Undoubtedly, at least some of my discomfort with Rev and preference for MC is simple familiarity differences, but I suspect are large part is general preference for simplicity and ``less is more''. But then, I don't build standalones, I just create and use stacks where the integration of the IDE and the stacks is paramount.
