Great suggestion!

I think Richard won't mind me mentioning the fact that we recently discussed
the possibility of modularizing the IDE, separating as many parts out as
possible so that folks can create their own flavors of the UI as needed.
(Perhaps the current structure of the IDE facilitates this -- I haven't
dissected it too deeply.)

Many of us have created our own tools and utilities to enhance our work
environments: wouldn't it be nice to be able to add our enhancements to the
IDE without having to severely dismember it...
