It's just an idea. Would it be possible to build an IDE with auto tabbing and syntax checking, just like the official IDE but for Windows? 
I'm not quite convinced by the current text-mode IDE, and Notepad++ doesn't have error checking and auto tabbing. Thanks and sorry for the question, I understand that the current IDE already has a lot of work done. I would not want to belittle the work of the creators.

What do you feel the current IDE needs? Perhaps the changes/additions you are looking for could be achieved in the current IDE.

For me, a big thing that I would like to see "fixed" in the current IDE (as an option, so folks who like it the way it is can be unaffected) is when using the mouse to scroll through the code just to look ahead, your lose your cursor position. It would be nice if it could behave like Notepad or a standard Windows app, where you can scroll with the mouse wheel, and pressing an arrow key or Home/End brings you back to where your actual cursor position is. This especially becomes an annoyance when doing Shift+Page Up/Down to select a function to cut & move somewhere else, where using the scrollbar to look ahead or back moves the insertion point and unselects the text.
