Thank you.

I've been saying something similar for a long time. There are at least
two classes of new users who need the IDE tweaked (even without fixing
the bugs): professional programmers and casual users. Each needs
different but not conflicting changes made to the IDE in order to get
past that initial learning curve and give them the impetus to keep on.
Once they get to that "Eureka!" moment they're hooked, but getting to
that point without this list to help ain't easy.
