But it still all gets back to how does the IDE/GUI thing communicate
with Octave, doesn't it? I still think the most effective thing will
be if the IDE/GUI is integrated with Octave, so they are not both
trying to handle events independently, and so that the IDE/GUI does
not end up reimplementing things that already exist in Octave (the
command line editor, history, the diary, etc.).
Also, a couple of the things that were mentioned were editor tasks
(code indenting and region commenting). Does it really make sense for
Octave to have a separate lame editor that is just different enough
from every other lame embedded editor to be really annoying? I mean,
why does every application need its own editor?
