Prior to the previous year, I used to do all my coding in Notepad++. It was faster and easier than the QB64 IDE of past. I still like the more readable vertical lines with ++, but at some point, the IDE functionality improvements just lured me back, and with V1.3 and up I've become more comfortable using it over ++. I know between the IDE and the language upgrades, the language upgrades take priority, and should. There are several IDE options to code with, but only one QB64 language; however I just wanted to say thanks to those who have also made a commitment to upgrading the IDE. Rob certainly did a great job of creating it, and it's great to see the current team adding regular upgrades. For anyone unfamiliar with editors, any working editor is an awful lot of brain work and thousands of lines of coding. It takes awhile for new contributors to work through the existing code, before upgrades can even be added.
