Never used it - I only get occasionally annoyed by it when I accidently
hit Alt-Enter :-)
So I don't have any insight on this one.

I don't know Eddie's plugin API, but that might be a lot of effort,
depending on how it's done.
A "TODO" add-on OTOH would be a very nice addition. Even though the
magic function stub/header creator is number one on my wish list, it
would be quite more work as well.
But I postponed it after you'll have rewritten the C/C++ parser, anyway
:-)

Even though all those current main stream editors support folding, I
never found it to be of any use; it just hides information, it doesn't
improve the overview or simplifies navigation - the function pop ups
already do all the good things for me.

The splitter gives you more than one view of the same file - that would
be a very different thing with a diff tool. Even though I wouldn't mind
a more sophisticated diff tool (integrated with SVN, maybe? :-)), I
don't think a vertical splitter would be useful for anything else but
diff. It be very confusing for anything else, anyway, since the views
had the same vertical position, only differ in horizontal...
That would be my input :-)
