Huw, I’ve had a browse of your work and love where you’re going with it.  
Those that love their textmate snippets etc. can stick with them if they  
want to (they look great). I’ve used a Smalltalk VM and would love  
those features to be available in an IDE. If someone doesn’t like a  
tool they don’t have to use it but the more tools that are developed to  
assist in the development process the better. A “good” IDE can greatly  
assist in the development process.

Now if I can just squeeze VIM into Visual Studio.

Appreciate the effort.
