Part of "that" problem is actually due to the underlying language
begin supported. Ada is easily supported by an IDE because there
are no _macros_ in the language to obscure what's behind them.
Visual Studio has to lean on specially formatted (and ugly!) comments
everywhere. Add to that, the fact that MuckySoft has a fetish
for C macros. This leaves you with a recipe for a "can't win"
scenario in an IDE. But this is consistent with their "good enough"
philosophy.
I just don't agree that it is good enough.
