QuickBasic had and still has an amazing IDE, Editor. Simple, Great Help with F1, very friendly - All-In-One!
It's the Editor it self that actually made QuickBasic 4.5 such a success until today. Not necessarily the language.
I wrote many applications in QuickBasic, some of them are still in use until now.
QuickBasic Editor/Interpreter/Compiler, this All-In-One editor made me so productive - that I succeeded where C programmers failed: giving a fast solutions to daily life's problems, in industry and other areas.
Again: the All-In-One very friendly editor was my choice - NOT the language.
Today the situation is terrible: so many languages, so complicated - and so bad editors.
Many editors are actually much more complicated then the language!
Other editors are "for general use"...,
Many editors are OR for total idiots OR for the most professional programmers,
Some editors are great - until you press F1... (F1, and good sensitive help is the real magic!).
I end up using notepad. The most basic version. If it wasn't funny - I would cry.
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/ say: "Just say NO to complicated programming languages!"
I say: "Just say NO NO NO to useless programming editors!"
Thank you, Shian.
We are already working towards that path. (Well, not me personally, but other people are.)

Add native support for Euphoria to a number of editors.
In my mind, the great Euphoria editor shall always be Edita. http://edita.isgreat.org
