Well the leader is currently very busy. :) I am learning C++ and .NET .
Also the Dev-C++ is copyright and child of Colin Laplace. My suggestion
of C++ coded Dev-C++ was introduced many times in the past by me to
persuade Colin. :) But Colin is a Delphi dude. I have not much time to
devote to a possible Dev-C++ rewritting in C++ from scratch, i am just
asking it from the people who have time and do this (the current Dev-C++
development team Colin Laplace, Hongli Lai and the rest of people). I
have time only to bug fix things and add some facilities here and there
and say some suggestion.

Thanks for the recommendation though, and those "leader" remarks. :))
