Wow, Shadowflare, you're too much. A new GUI-environment Iscript program would be phenomenal.
One thing that has crossed my mind as all these new programs are being developed: integration and cross-program communication. Think about it for a moment: You're editing the DAT file of a unit, hit a Jump To button to now edit its Iscriping, then another Jump button to edit its button set, then Jump to its TBL entry or GRP. Something like that. A modular engine that connects the various new software suites together under a seamless skin. Each developer can update their program independently, and the programs would still function on their own, but the engine would link them all together.

That would be cool but you gotta keep some seperation otherwise it can seem like too much to those who are starting out. But other than thatI totally agree!!!

Well, with enough cooperation between the developpers, a versatile messaging system can be implemented for this purpose. Implementing this would be of little problem, the question is the amount of support needed to accomplish this and the problem of setting a standard. A very close cooperation must take place here.
Either this, or someone could make an application that would launch all the others with specific parameters and all the fancy stuff (kinda like what nirvanajung did for his fellow korean modders) but here the messaging issue is exactly the same, and on top of that someone would have to actually code the thing, which may be somewhat iffy as this person would most probably code some of the external programs as well.

Hmm, it could be done with window messages (like I suggested for GRPEdit).

Dear ShadowFlare:
So, how goes development?

Probably pretty awesome 
This inspires me to grab my old copy of IceCC and get to iscript

Um, why would you hate it? It's actually very nice, cross-platform implementation is pretty advanced (Mono), plus Microsoft gives a free full-featured IDE and designer to go with it, which is a huge first for them (I admit, I was VERY surprised). And it's not bad for performance, it runs as fast or almost as fast as C++, depending on the situation. Old technologies can't stay around forever, you know.

They can, if they're still better than the new ones A really new tech I would consider to be Java, yet it lacks speed, although its platform-independence is a nice feature.

Just write portable C/C++ using a portable GUI toolkit.
