It would be interesting to learn of anything you find there that's 
attractive.  MC is getting old, and the more they make radical changes 
to the engine the harder it is to set up.  We can easily fix the setup 
stuff, but as my last question here was asking who wants a simpler setup 
and it went unreplied perhaps there's my answer on how much interest 
there is in this at all.

Then again, we read of many complaints about the Rev IDE on the main 
list, and Galaxy/Consellation has quite a few followers, so it would 
seem there would be room for an open source alternative -- maybe.

Rev-based IDEs address an ultra-tiny market that's already fragmented as 
it is.  I still can't get much work done in Rev, and I hear most of my 
clients curse as they use it, but if there's only three or four of us 
still using MC it does rather raise questions about the effort.
