That's not what I'm saying. First, he's free to do with his time 
whatever he chooses to. Second, I think it'd be better to decouple 
debugger and editor. For example, I'd like to use this feature without 
having to use an entire IDE. Wouldn't it be great to have a free choice 
what components to use?

Of course, that's only theory. In practice, it's simpler to built on an 
existing framework, GUI, and so on. And Ary is actually in favor of the 
fat-IDE-approach. I mean, that's fine, I don't expect him to change 
anything about this and I respect his opinion.

As I said, I don't like all-in-one components. Except if it's really a 
holy grail of an IDE (by definition, everything would be perfect). But 
yeah, you can't have that. Thus it'd be better to split functionality 
and features across different pieces of software.
