Win32 was a great step forward. A stable interface that has lasted for decades, despite Microsoft's best efforts to move on. Programs written using the Win32 GUI and forms still work decades later. Its a shame there isn't an equivalent in the Linux world. --- We should have rich source text by now. You should be able to freely time comments, include notes, links, images, etc. in the source code of a program, and still have it compile correctly. --- We should be able to directly modify the Abstract Syntax Tree of programs, renaming as it is stored in the tree would cause it to correctly change the name of every use with zero errors. Refactoring this way would be much faster and more reliable.
