I've encountered what appears at the moment to be two problems, one of which I think is well on the way to being solved, and neither of which seems to be affecting anybody but me. My impression is that the IDE is very nearly ready for prime time, at least for my needs. I'm pretty close to going back to CCL as my primary development platform.<br><div><br></div><div>rg</div><div><br><div><div>On May 19, 2009, at 3:07 PM, John McAleely wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I've held off from responding on this thread for a while, but your description of using the IDE and finding it very unstable is exactly the experience I had a couple of months ago.<div><br></div><div>I would have been using 1.2, so when you reported 1.3 was similar, I was assuming the work in trunk might make my experience irrelevant.
