No arrays inside UDTS, only being able to use GL through the _GL sub and it only supporting gl 1.1, peoples libs not working together (due to a lack of universal UDTS/naming conventions) etc...
Even though recently we have made major steps forward via binding external libs through C++ (petr's VLC as an example) we still have ways to go before we can really compete with the other Basic variants out there. A proper IDE would be a good start as even though I love the nostalgia of the current one it probably instantly turns of younger coders as it looks outdated.

The familiarity of the IDE is actually one of the things that grabbed me and I like. But then again I'm not one of those younger coders
