Just a Deceleration.. for people who may not get how important is a Good IDE
and how significant it is on all the aspects of your work.

good IDE is really a must...i owe endless THANK YOU to Ziggy for fantastic BMAX/Blide, which i use for my CNC and other electronic/firmware programming stuff...stunning and i love it..

..now im wondering, does BLIDE work with BMAX NG and if not are there any plans for such integration??

We use vi at work. It does the job....

The thing that i need the most in blide and ziggy wont add is the option
to go back from where you were like in a browser..

Although Blide is Great and we all Owe ziggy our lives :)
I can imagine a far better concept for an IDE than that..
but Im still very pleased other than what ive mentioned Above..

...mm...undo does work in blide, very well?

totally agree that the IDE is #1. I am super confused about Microsoft Visual Studio IDE now. So yes, I only used the Visual Basic tool in the past, but now I cannot even FIND THAT! Crazy stuff like HTML-5, C# and stinking JAVA, and other horrors....
I realized I don't even know how begin with the IDE anymore. It's maddening.
I'm sticking with Blitz products, Monkey, Power Basic, last GFA Basic, Pure Basic, Nuclear Basic!

Visual studio code is shaping up to be a great lightweight ide that's extendable. A lot of languages are already supported. I use it as my Python ide. I think that Bmax and monkey2 could both have a future with it imo.

im not talking about undo lol
im talking about jumping to a function by pressing shift f2 and than wanting to get back to where you were..

GW yea, visual studio looks great.

Good Grief -- that is what I have installed "Visual Studio Code" - its NOT Visual Studio Suite....so looking at it I now see that it has support for many many programming code types...just now noticed it has Microsoft C and C++ support, also something called AlphaBasic- this will take some time to digest!
Well goodness- port Blitz3D-Blitzmax-BlitzBasic-Monkey over to it!-(and yes I do not know what that would involve ;) )

Just looked at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/language-support for VSC and - !!! - it seems a little complicated !!!
Of course VSC is a big-beast (intellisense & co) so to have certain results I suppose there's a 'cost'

Just downloading it..
