If there're so many editors, why are they creating a new one?

Because an IDE "a la" Delphi is something more than editing and
calling the compiler. The key point are designers: object inspector,
component palette and form designer will be next plugged in. And they
need to be synchronized with the code editor: clicking on the event
pane of the Object Inspector creates an skeleton of the event handler
in the code editor. Adding a component to a form inserts its
declaration and makes it available in Object Inspector... and so on.

These features *need* a well designed CL, not only a working editor,
because they rely on components interface. Not talking about
streaming...

greetings

  Nico
