Exactly what API will RDS be writing to? Win32, X11, or some
platform-independant library? That means RDS has to develop a cross-platform
API as well, which is certainly not trivial.

At the moment, I'm so pressed for time that I'm currently farming out work
on my own IDE.

I should point out that - other than upgrades to Euphoria given to myself
and other 'supporters' - my relationship with RDS is pretty much the same as
everyone else's.

While the remarks made about VEL were by themselves relatively mild, they
came after continuing griping against the use of Delphi, the selection of
name "Damien", lack of source code and and other nit-picking. All this when
Damien was being released in beta as a favor.
Gary did a huge amount of work for the Euphoria community, and his reward
was to get slammed for his effort. He had no moral obligation to release the
source code for Damien. That his leaving is touted as 'proof' that the
criticism was right leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, to say the least.

On the other hand, you could end up with a camel. Coordinating such a
project would not be a simple thing.
