Before long, if this project could find another maintainer, the QB64 IDE could be offered in more than one mode. I don't like many gimmicks it gained since the last SDL edition. Therefore, offer a "Spartan" or "stripped-down" level of the IDE, and also have a version like what it has become today. The lesser edition could be fixed only if it contains a serious bug or security issue long not discovered.
There are users trying to run the IDE on Windows7 with single-core CPU and limited memory. They might appreciate the ability to disable code-folding, include-file auto-display or anything that enhances the experience. Yeah sure, they are also trying to get millions of frames per second, trying to "let the music play" without starting and stopping and glitches, and are anxious to get that "in-house" download manager going...
(This forum should support a "spoiler" posting trick...)
The reaction would be interesting from the "official" version guys: what is highest priority for new functionality, the IDE or for user programs?
