Looks nice. I still prefer Notepad++ though. I wouldn't mind using it for editing code, but I don't enjoy compiling from the IDE. Give me a text editor, and a command line any day!

Because of this and the fact that Notepad++ lets me work with PHP, Python, Ruby and more, I won't choose this.

However, I can see this as being a lightweight alternative to Visual Studio in Windows. I swear that it takes at least ten seconds to get past the splash screen, open up the Welcome page, and wait for my input. When I want to code, let me code!
