Weirdest: Replace the IDE with the best of community components
---------------------------------------------------------------
Like the "Weirder" option above, this would be independent of the
product build, but would open the door for anyone to do whatever they
want. Bjornke's BVGDocu could replace the Dictionary, Peter's
lcStackBrowser could replace the App and Proj browsers, your GLX2 editor
could replace the Script Editor, etc.
At that point the IDE becomes a very slender thing, just a tool rack on
which we hang our own tools. And the tools within it would not only be
the best of what the community has to offer, but could also be
interchangeable.
That, I think is what Ali was implying. There is indeed movement in that
direction in the IDE... what with publish and subscribe mechanisms and a
palette abstraction layer... admittedly it's a long ways off yet. The
palettes are hard-coded for now, and there's still a lot in the IDE that
doesn't use the abstraction layer: for instance, the newTool handler
goes directly to the "revTools" stack instead of querying for the
palette, but I do see some light at the end of a long tunnel.
