For you maybe. For others, no.
There is goto, select case, pointers, pass-by-reference, an eval statement,
even threads.
For all of theses mentioned above, there is something out there for Eu which
gives emulation, but they aren't as good as if they were builtin to the
language.

An IDE is mostly good for developing GUI applications. If you don't need the app
to have a GUI then you don't need an IDE to make the app.
Also, if you write your own editor (possible if you base it on ed.ex, ee.ex,
or even Meditor) then you can add whatever you need to it, w/o making it into
a full IDE.
BTW, what does Tmo mean?
