I wrote a couple of apps/tools for the DE. A notepad style editor (PhatEdit), clipboard tools, memory tracker, locale tools, file requester wrapper.
I also did a couple of ports too. Cocoon (source doc generator) and quake. Next on the list was the HUUUUGE task of a GUI framework, with the final aim of an IDE. The problem was that the documentation was quite limited. Most of the OS was still missing (which is why I had to write my own clipboard implementation). Debugging was a nightmare and the API changed on each version, causing some apps to stop working.
Eventually, I lost the faith (and to be honest the time!). Given that the Amigadev sit hasnt been updated since Feb last year, it still doesnt look too active so I have no urge to go back to it at all.
