It's the right decission.

Actually gideon (the next kevelop 3.0) does not have a part for idl. But it
has it already for C, C++, Fortan, Java, PHP, perl, Python and Ruby.
Later someone should be able to write a rudimentary idl part module.
I believe if this isn't done in coorporation with rsi it would not be as
useful as it could be.

One of the benifits of emacs is that it could be used on a simpe terminal
console too. ( and this with all features :) )

Thanks JD for the IDLWave mode.
