How many programmers today do not know what what a pointer is, or even if they do, how to use/understand them? I'm sure the number is growing, considering the prevalence of languages where pointers aren't even a consideration.
Now if you don't like the features of this IDE, that's fair. You're free to stick to whatever you're currently using. Given that Tenacious C will be a paid app when it is done, I doubt I'll really be interested, given what I can use for free that gets the job done more than adequately.

Something about how the notion of pointers/references is fundamentally wrong because it doesn't reflect our understanding of objects in RL. I realise I'm being tangential now, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
