Well, I don't regard Emperor as a fully fledged IDE, more of a glorified GUI builder, like MUIBuilder with bells and whistles on.

What we could do with is a RAD environment, incorporating RAD tools, IDE, compilers, support for Reaction and MUI interfaces, capable of compiling for Classic, AOS4, MOS and Ami*?thlon etc. (you get the idea)

I think that would be a development tool that could actually sell well and make a profit. If we could have it for free so much the better.
