...But right now I don't think there is something we can improve on U++ to make it more popular. It is already stable, feature full and relatively simple to use. I have no idea what we could dedicate our collective effort for the next two months so that we could improve the retention rate of those who come in contact with U++. Other than transforming TheIDE into a perfect clone of Visual Studio or QtCreator.
The tutorials for the Ultimate++ beginners. TheIDE doesn't feel 'relatively simple' to them.
They may have worked a decade or two with Visual Studio but get completely lost with TheIDE. The current tutorial is not sufficient to link their experience to concepts and unique terminology used here.
