How does the .iml and .lay relate to this?
I hope I'm not wrong, but both .iml and .lay files are generated by TheIDE. And they are still valid C++ sources, aren't they?

So such new IDE would be used to edit layout too, and it would generate the content of "lay" files too, and it would handle the "files" problems for them too (hopefully in completely transparent way to programmer).

Still the (continuous) import of external (generated or not) source files would be needed of course for many projects, but I think this can be worked out too without making it more difficult than with current IDEs, if not easier.

After all to attack "accident" part of programming means to make the life of programmer easier, not harder. Whether in classic source files based IDE or some future tool based on different concept doesn't matter. As long as the life is *really* easier.

(That means I'm really looking for improved TheIDE too, I bet it will make the life easier. Smile

I'm not just waiting for final miracle, any little improvement is welcome. )
