Jerry Daniels <http://danielsmara.com/about-jerry/> did that a few years
ago with a couple of editors he invented, like the concept editor and
T-Rev/Remo. It worked brilliantly and was much simpler and more reliable
than his previous, more ambitious editor. He'd probably talk to you about
how he did it… he called it 'using agents' and explained it quite well.

It was great because even if Livecode crashed, the scripts would still be
there in the editor.

I would be quite happy with an IDE that was standaloe… I don't hack the IDE.
