I have considered this too. My idea was to use wxDevC++ to generate the
forms, and then adapt C::B code to "fit"  our IDE. I still think that this
is the way to go for a small development team, since the IDE is what the
user seed, not the underlying code.

I of course know that C::B is open source and we can use their code for our
own IDE, and this might very well be the way to go in the short term.

I would suggest, if you feel like it, to have a quick look and see how
difficult it might be. If this looks like the way to go in the short term
then I am all for it.
