Though I started messing with computers about the same time (1965-66), it was always through a terminal. There was a terminal at my high school which we programed in telcomp/BASIC going to a terminal at Bolt Braneck and Newman in Boston. We used to weekly try to divide by zero just to see the **CRASH** message come back!
The whole problem with any successful program is that eventually it gets so big and so interdependent that keeping it going without wrecking another section gets difficult.
Doitsu in a different thread was right in saying that for us amateurs anyway, Sigil is pretty near complete. I don't know of anything it really needs for our use.
Maybe the focus should be on plug ins for Sigil to carry out the functions that are missing. That would require infinitely less work and no chance of blowing up the main program to implement features. They don't need to be in any particular language either, so long it is executable by the computer.
