I think that depends on when 7 will be EOLed. If you plan to have 8 stable by 
the end of the year and you plan to have a new Script editor there, wasting 
resources might be indeed a waste.

+1, just eclipse… ;-). Still the IDE will have to come with a script editor 
that works out of the box.

Well, for me it is not so much about the text editor. It wouldn’t be the first 
textEditor I would be scripting. My problem would be the friggin debugger…
On the other hand, there is a very powerful script editor out in the wild, 
namely glx which I believe Mark Wieder is maintaining. It has its glitches, but 
is not too bad. I just recall that it had a problem hiliting the script at the 
place it errored when it errored. That had me give up on that one. (picky, I 
know) Besides that, I think glx is as far as one can go with a scripted editor. 
:-)

Best,

Malte
