If it's because of debugging, it won't be much of a difference since 
Mmrnmhrm has no debugger itself, one should use Descent's debugger in 
tandem.
Mmrnmhrm's integrated builder might help, if that was part of the 
problem, but I don't see why using an Eclipse external configuration to 
build the project in Descent would not work as well (even if it's more 
worksome to configure and keep updated).
