IMHO, if we don't break through this "barrier", IDEs for Haiku will stay
below what could be possible. They will all be nice, each in their own way, depending on what the developer focused on, but I doubt they will become as 
advanced as Eclipse for example. I also think the chances for success are
way better if more people were to work on one project. Obviously that means 
that if people who have now started their IDE projects, who are really
interested in joining, need to pick one of the projects as the successor


What I more like to see are some system wide libraries like:
- syntax highlighting
- code completion
- class browser
and not directly for development:
- spell checker
- dictionary
This to decorate a text view would make it much more easier to write different IDEs and make it also possible to comfortable display text data in other apps.

ps. is anyone working on code completion? I'm interested to look into a clang based approach in the far future.
