Hmm, I do like better the C++ Builder style when  you can dock windows, so everything is in one bigger window. Not so many small windows where, the window you're looking for is hidden by two other windows. Everythink clean and visible, so one can easily determine the situation.

But, what about an OS4 port ?

@Treke

Well it's open-source now, so why not do it yourself ?

And how do expect someone to seriously promise a OS4-port when
there is no OS4 (atm) ?

And who should do it, since it is an open project now ?

I haven't looked into the sources (yet) but AFAIK it's
written in SAS/C, and as soon as someone manages to compile
it with gcc, a relativly easy OS4-port (when available)
should be securred.

Developers are needed as the announcement says.

Its GPL now so if anyone wants to do an OS4 port they can.

@Treke

Why not to use a screen in true Amiga-style? Workbench screen is going to be a big mess if there is a IDE system with multiple windows?

I might be interested to join the project. The bad thing is that I have no SAS/C, I'm only using VBCC.

Maybe we can support VBCC and GCC too soon?

@Mr_Capehill
Separate Amiga screens should be optional, not compulsory.

talk about being influenced by StormC :-)

(not a bad thing IMHO)

too bad it only supports SAS/C
'normal' gcc/vbcc is in more need of a IDE than
SAS/C
