For what it's worth, not ALL editors look the same. :) I'm working on an editor with a friend of mine called Code Connect that is considerably different than most typical editors. It's heavily inspired by Code Bubbles as well. However, instead of working with code on a file-by-file basis, we're working with code on a function-by-function basis. We've got a demonstration video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQ8NJOypqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQ8NJOypqs And we'll be shipping an alpha version for people to play with over the next two weeks.

That looks absolutely gorgeous. Working with functions like that is something I've been looking for. Is there a longer demo video? If like to see how new functions are added to existing files, how it handles a bigger code base, and how it deals with a clutter of bubbles e.g. does it remember old bubble path lists so they don't have to be expanded layer (or maybe this shouldn't be the case due to causing clutter). I love how it has autocomplete due to VS integration. With the right keyboard shortcuts and some polish, I think your editor would be very useful. Keep us updated.

  Thanks a lot! The video I posted is fairly dated, and we'll be releasing a new one this week to discuss how Code Connect deals with interfaces and inheritance. Adding bubbles is an issue we haven't solved yet. We've tried a few different approaches, but nothing feels quite right yet. Like you said the user experience is key with a tool like this, so we're constantly working to refine it. The biggest thing we're looking for right now is feedback, so I'll definitely keep you updated on our progress, videos and alpha release date.

I remember seeing this video a while ago. Upon seeing the title, I thought this was going to be about Code Connect. Very excited to hear your guys are releasing something soon to play with!
