What would make me switch: a way to highlight the error when compiling, highlighting the line, a stronger highlight for the character range reported by the compiler, taking in consideration the tab mode used (real tab, n spaces) to interpret the value returned by the compiler. the error message in an infobulle and a log area. An integrated ocamlbrowser (the standard TK tend to jiggle and hang on my computer). An integrated small terminal window. A mean to prevent you from the obscure error message about the very last char of the file, that after (for a beginner) 10 minutes of nervous fight you end up discovering in the first half of your file a missing syntax. I've been told emacs tuareg do that, maybe your autoindent mode already do it. Will test camelia 2.0 for sure. Thanks. -- Philippe Strauss http://philou.ch
