My Dream

Is to replace Emacs with a good MSVS like IDE. Just imagine, you can use the device called "mouse" to interact with the text editor! Then there are such cool features, called intellisense and step-by-step-debugger.

Microsoft's IDE can also do awesome things, like refactoring, for you: select a SEXP of your Lisp code, then click "extract function" and viola! - you just reduced your big function to a manageable sized words. Praise the GUI!

Also, I would love these configurable wizards, which help simplifying and validating common tasks, like creating a new project, making sure you wont mess something. Imagine a wizard crating a Common Lisp project for you, from scratch, managing all project dependencies with a GUI interface. No more wasting time, setting up boilerplate.asd and package.lisp files

I am living a nightmare. Eclipse went to update, and is now spending over an hour calculating dependencies, and now won't let me close the fucking window. Sure, I could kill the process, but I think I'll just fuck around until five. Not that it matters, because it would take an hour to start up again anyway.

I wish I could just use a plain text editor.
