I've considered this myself, but maintaining something as complex as LC's IDE is no small task. In fact, I'm finding it less time consuming to replace portions as I need them than to prowl around in that complex code.

But even if someone had the time for to maintain a fork of the IDE (and you might get some assistance on that from others if you do), engine pull requests would still be in queue with the mother ship. Few in our community have the C++ skills to do serious work on the engine, and the GPL license would make using such a community project a non-starter for most license holders.
