FWIW, Intellisense is an invaluable way to explore APIs when using F#. Coming back to OCaml now feels cumbersome. The development of GUI apps is perhaps the most extreme example: my productivity is maybe 100x higher with F# than OCaml solely because of Intellisense (nothing to do with GUI designer tools).
Cheers,
Jon.

OcaIDE exists:

Along with others as well.
I've personally never been a real fan of using Eclipse for OCaml development. I feel like the good reasons to use Eclipse are for languages with huge overhead in naming conventions and boilerplate, Java being the case in point example. By contrast, in OCaml most people use the module system and I've usually been able to get by with swapping between a few buffers of interface files. Of course, YMMV.

Hi,
Is it possible to have a Eclipse based IDE? Perhaps Xtext may help in putting one together.
