Hi,
Yes, I've encountered all those problems too!
The other problem with using 3rd party tools in this case is that if
you have just gotten your manager to approve buying RunRev and then
you say you want to spend more money on something else cos the RunRev
IDE isn't up to the task, then they are likely to as why you are
using it in the first place! I've been in that spot before and it
isn't a good spot to be in!!!
All the Best

Good point, Dave,
But I'm not sure why we are having this discussion at all.
Whether it takes one click or two clicks to close the script editor
is the least of the problems with the editor and, worse yet, the
debugger.
It opens to random window sizes. Sometimes it opens almost off the
screen. Sometimes it opens but simply will not run. Often it will
step though a couple lines of code then drop to the bottom of the
handler. You can set debug checkpoints which do not trigger the
debugger at all. You can set debug checkpoints that get removed
when the debugger runs. The variable watcher misses variables
(especially the clickLine). It is possible to use the spacebar to
step through code (although there is no obvious way to know this) -
except that it often will not work for the first step. Attempting
to use the "Find" command in the debugger will scramble the script
editor window and scripts being edited. Etc. Etc.
These issues have been present since the debugger was introduced.
They are there in version after version of Rev. Many are listed in
Bugzilla. Most are obvious to a causual user. But they don't get
fixed!
I hope they listen to Scott, but history is not encouraging.

The problem is for Newbies. If you are learning a new environment
you really don't want to add to the learning curve by using 3rd
party tools and writing a Script Editor is way too complex a job
for a newbie. Besides all that, the reason you use an IDE is to
take the sweat out of software development, if you can't trust the
tools that come with it, well..............................
