So, if anyone wants to express their needs for such a thing I'd be happy to consider converting them into implementable features. No promises, though, as my daylight job often consumes all my computer-centric energy.

So far, I have determined a wish list including syntax highlighting, "intellisense" style completion, mode-line representation of ChucK's status, automatic shred/spork replacement, and minibuffer display of micro-documentation for classes/functions/syntax under the point. Any other input is welcome.
