"is going" is correct.

Because of my job I have to work with a lot of compilers (from 16Bit to 
64Bit) and
also a lot of IDE's. So I think I have pretty much experience.

- IDE's that integrate the debugger and don't let you easiely change code 
while
debugging are anoying (I know at least 5, 3 for ARM, one for ColdFire,one 
for PPC).
- I normaly use a desktop-switcher (win and linux), so an IDE limits me 
here, since
I can't move windows.

I will try this (it's on my road-map) and I will see if:
- I can integrate code-generators
- I can build libraries
- I can integrate special linkers (code-encryption and compression).
