Re: [DotGNU]Re: IDE questions

[David Sugar]

Actually, "Source Navigator" already comes close to this ideal, so 
certainly it can be done.  All that SN really lacks is a cleaner 
integration with the external make facility and clean selection of make 
targets in an editable list, the ability to jump to files in the SN 
editor matching lines make reports as errors (like maketool allows) and 
a nice project form for setting and saving configure options.  I also 
find it's highlighting to be visually slow and annoying while doing any 
editing using it, but this is a seperate mechanical issue...
