In the end I need to make a simple and quite serious decision: should we spend time and try and develop a project in Rev? And into the future: should we switch our whole team over to Rev?
Do the one project first, then you can decide from an informed place about the efficacy of moving the whole team. :)
As a suggestion perhaps the Rev List could start up a small spec for a new script editor?
I've been asked to make the script editor from my devolution toolkit open source. (Buried in <http://www.fourthworld.com/products/devolution/index.html>).
My editor is forked from the one in the MC IDE, so it would take some non-trivial work to integrate it with Rev's debugger. And for myself, I'd really rather find a way to move the various subwindows (e.g., Variable Watcher) into one window to relieve what feels like clutter to me now, but I'm sure others feel differently and we'd have to sort out what's best (or have multiple versions).
It'll take some work to prepare it for an open source process, but if there's sufficient interest from people willing to do some hefty coding I'll do the groundwork to set that up.
Provided that interest turns into actual code, this could be a first step toward an "atomic" IDE, one in which the IDE itself is really just a shell that holds together any number of interchangeable components....
