What are the top 10 features people expect from an IDE? How can those 10 features be reflected in the desktop UI?
From Wikipedia:
* An integrated debugger // There is ddd but it needs a facelift, or winpdb but it is python only
* Source code editor
* Simple integrated graphics editor
* Compiler and/or interpreter
* Build automation tools
* Version control system
* Class browser
* Object inspector
* Class hierarchy diagram
* Something that "glues" all the above together in an easily discoverable way
