I suggest Emacs, which has an IDL mode available for it. In fact, doesn't a
version of Emacs ship with Mac OS X? I believe there's also an Aqua version
out there. I don't know what your boss thinks is "weird" or "mainstream", but
Emac's pretty mainstream in the Unix world, and runs on every platform I've
encountered.
