Oh the irony
Microsoft didn't like it when someone made a plugin for Visual Studio express, yet are now opening up the IDE for everyone use?
Pop along to Sourceforge and you’ll find many different programmers’ editors, many of which have been abandoned long before they’re ready for use. There’s not really any point developing an editor, when toolkits like Scite exist. The same is true of IDEs, when there’s the extensible Eclipse IDE to use. As a result it’s been …

Where's the Ruby integration? How about Google Web Tools?
I'll need a _lot_ more than this to make me switch from Eclipse!
