Yes, I've put the idea of rewriting an IDE for Open Watcom and they
basically
laughed.  They said the editor is quite powerful (even if it cannot handle
spaces in paths,
and crashes repeatedly) and the IDE is fine (even if it causes me to have 6
windows
on my taskbar at times, while I'm surfing the web and working from the
command-line to boot!).
They rather play with a broken C++ compiler, but can't blame them.  So I
uninstalled it and continued to work with Borland C++/VC++/BCB.  WDOSX
allows me to turn my Win32
console apps into DOS extended executables, and I haven't had any trouble
with it since.

Maybe I'm spoiled, but I need a good IDE to work in.  Not some crippled Vi
clone that
crashes more than Windows 95.
