I took a look at it and found it valuable.
I wondered if I should start iTM2 from this but after some analysis, I=20=

came to the conclusion that syntax coloring, macro management and key=20
bindings management I already had in iTM was superior to the ones in=20
IDEKit. Moreover, the file management and metadata storage had to be=20
seriously revisited to be really portable. AFAIR, I liked very much the=20=

preference management of IDEKit and will probably use it.
Finally, I found some design choices very constraining. More precisely,=20=
