David and Fabien,
I certainly do not want to go back to 6.4 ! The IDL Workbench is there and we must now use it.
I would find it quite usable, when Exelis will have i) improved the corresponding documentation (the new articles which are the subject of this thread are a promising step in this direction), ii) fixed the unstable behaviour of the Workbench while debugging or restarting from error. This unstability may lead, - as already mentioned in previous threads -, to a full reset or even a cold restart of IDL with, of course, the penality of some editing or data loss.
That is, in my opinion, more important than SVN capability or any other gadget.
alain.
