| 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.. |

| 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. |

| Naughty Alien 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.. |
