Hi Caitlin.  It's excellent to see more Haiku native apps, and from my first
"play" (30 minutes according to stat meter) I can see that you've spent
quite some time polishing the product.  It's the little things which annoy
us to no end (eg. open/save panel not remembering last directory) which
you've actually taken the time to implement correctly.  I can see that
you've payed a lot of attention to detail and a have given the product tons
of polish - I'm amazed at what you've accomplished - well done.  The
sprinkled messages (some of them Haikus) are an excellent touch.

Some initial observations:
- when you open too many files (tabs), even though you can navigate to
non-visible tabs with ALT-TAB, you cannot see the tab label
- only native c/c++ datatypes are highlighted, while other keywords are not
highlighted (switch, case, for, if  ...)

And some feature requests:
- hierarchical resource lists (eg. source files).  The project I'm working
on has over 400 source files, and I'd really love to access them from an
IDE.
- makefile + jamfile wizard.
- a few sample projects would be nice.  I managed to figure it out, but some
users might give up too easily.

BTW - I understand Caitlin is proud to announce his project, but shouldn't
this be posted to the general haiku mailing list (not haiku-development).
 I've taken the liberty of moving this topic to that list.
