OK, where in your somewhat biased terminolgy above did you demonstrate
that there was anything that prevented you from access to the ARM RDI
standard? Does "your logic" equate the words 'open' and 'free'? 

"open" just means that access is available if you want it, IMHO.
"closed" means no access at any price, also IMHO.

For me, support for an 'open' debug interface like ARM's RDI is much
more of an issue than things like an IDE's 'eye candy'. Fortunately, a
very large number of commercial development system vendors also seem 
to consider ARM's RDI an itegral part of ARM support since it is
provided in a very large number of them.

Sorry to start a disagreement, but that's how I see it.
