Lightsaber IDE
So after getting fed up with people complaining about problems with their *favorite* IDE, it occurred to me. Why don't we just make our own? You know, like how a Jedi builds their own lightsaber. Talking about it at work and thinking about it on the commute I came up with a list of big ticket items that would need to be addressed.
- Editing a file
- Multiple files
- Compiling
- Debugging
- Test runner
- Syntax highlighting
- Find usages
- Go to definition
- Intellisense
- Snippets (prop, propg)
- Source code integration
- TeamCity, StyleCop, etx integration
- ReSharper refactorings
- Underscoring
While there is a ton more and it's a big task (and most likely a tremendous waste of time) it seems like a fun thing to do, at least for a little while. I also came up with a name, DevPad.
