Things should get a lot easier once all the basic controls are in place with moving stretching shading and locking in methods, and means of attaching and editing source code. We just need to get through the hardcore stuff then the GUI programming will be much more accessible to users as well as tool developers.
I would also like to integrate the manual into the IDE Instead of relying on chm. This would allow better context-sensitive help, and tie-in with header files and other important sources of information.
