I personally prefer if the language evolve instead of getting a new VD. However from a marketing point PB might sell more copies if it had a really good VD. In the end it's really up to Fred though. I really prefer a happy Fred that continues to work on PB for all eternity than either a new VD or new functionality
I think the developers are doing the priorities correct i just wanted to give feedback on what i would do to get a VD... If none of us are telling that we really want VD then it's "always" going to lag behind.
A new coder could possible do the job if some off us prepaid for a future product.
But the coder should really know PB etc.

1. Spend countless days before the computer, coding on the free VD...make no money at all...

3. Open source it
I like logic, hence I dislike humans but love computers.

Open source, no way!
We saw what happened to the first PB IDE when it was open source.
Just start an open source project yourself if you think this is the solution.
