I've considered this myself, but maintaining something as complex as
LC's IDE is no small task. In fact, I'm finding it less time consuming
to replace portions as I need them than to prowl around in that complex
code.
But even if someone had the time for to maintain a fork of the IDE (and
you might get some assistance on that from others if you do), engine
pull requests would still be in queue with the mother ship. Few in our
community have the C++ skills to do serious work on the engine, and the
GPL license would make using such a community project a non-starter for
most license holders.
