I'm not sure why OP thinks this is going to be a good idea. The kind of projects he'll get to work on will almost always be the usual Odesk "clone XYZ in $X" tripe. Also, the sort of company he's talking about is un

Interesting idea. Don't think it's been done with an IDE before. Expanding code based on context would be cool too. (eg. second column shows the implementation of whatever the first column's cursor is on - super handy when st
