Here's a pie-in-the-sky idea... (mm... pie....)
Probably the single thing I actually _like_ about MS VC++ is the
context-sensitive help (hit F1 on a function name to get a definition)
and the auto-completion.
I know not everyone likes it, but for a language intended for live
use, being able to get all possible matching function names and then
quickly jump to a short description I think would be very useful. At
the moment I usually leave the Chuck website up in another desktop
workspace while I'm chucking, and flip to it and do a manual search,
but I think context-sensitive help would be way, way faster. (Speed
in accessing useful information is key here..)
Something like that in miniAudicle would be fantastic. (Then again, I
usually use Emacs, but if I had a reason to switch I might consider
it...)
