Anyhow a GUI IDE of some sort can be a logical next goal for Harbour development. I mean, if someone wants to develop such thing keeping in mind our overall goals (like portability), I'd certainly not stop him. Personally though I'd rather concentrate on core features, we're still missing quite many important bits (native UNICODE, SQL stuff, XML support, GTNET). So it's more important IMO to provide all the necessary bits in Harbour core to enable developers to create such an IDE in a relatively easy way. IDE is typically a sub-project which can be done quite well separated from core Harbour, in parallel with core development. Given there are developers willing to spend time on it. Another related area where Harbour could catch up is missing Harbour/Clipper support in several well-known and widely used editors, and also the source code scanner ohloh.net is using. Such additions would be great for the language. (Similarly to a proper wikipedia article). TextEdit (on OS X), JEdit, kate, etc. Adding support to these editors is another great way to help developers. After all Python, Ruby or Mono also don't have any IDEs built by core team, yet they manage quite well on the popularity lists.
