But still, the limits of the editor have long been known, especially by the original creators. At one point they were lamenting having chosen the code they did. I think they rightly chose to focus on the libraries, and not on the editor itself.

Personally I’ve never really found any code editor all that essential to my work. It just has to work for me. My favorite is BBEdit, because I’m a Mac guy, but I’ll also use VI, XCode, that Microsoft thingy (uh, Visual Something), Context, whatever is required. As long as it gives me indentations and color-coding.

So I could care less about the features (I actually think the Processing interface is quite brilliant thanks to its simplicity). But I absolutely do want to be able to write brackets ;-)

I mainly miss the Shift+Insert and Ctrl+Insert shortcuts for working with clipboard, but there are other features really missing or not implemented in sketch editor.. ( Namely Scintilla or JEdit or even Eclipse code pops up in my mind when thinking about the P55 editor and there are many others I am sure...</p> I just wonder (and creak with my teeth sometimes) why didn’t they reuse some component or already made code for the editor…!?
