Well, we have the start on two of those three components you mentioned
- the code editor and the resource editor. A while ago I started a
QuickRes-like resource editor which needs some more work to be useful.
Sources for that are in the tree. Pe is under an appropriate license
and while it needs some work to make it more suitable for a regular IDE
environment, it's got a lot of features that are conducive to
development.
