It's a _great_ IDE. It has so many handy features! To top it all off,
it's super-fast on here. It usually loads up in less than 1000ms,
presuming it's going straight to the Start Page and not initially
loading a project.

It's so versatile too -- I use it to write HTML, XML, and even surf the
web sometimes; and I love the way one can view help pages in separate
tabs within the main window.

I'm thinking of adapting some code of mine to work as an IDE addin. The
code implements a Yahoo! Chat client connection. I'm not 100% sure if
this'd work though, as an add-in. I'll see...
 
implementing a Yahoo chat client as an addin might not be a great idea.
Yahoo changes and upgrades their logins and chat protocols all the time. A
chat client addin would require constant maintence to keep up with yahoo.

If you're thinking about adding IM capability you might want to look into
Jabber. Open source and Xml based.

Yeah, I understand that; but it's never been a _major_ problem here.
Even though they change their login authentication mechanism for YMSG
every so often, it always seems to get back out into the open within a
few days.

Even if, the next time they do it, it never manags to get back out into
the open, there's always a protocol which doesn't use login
authentication - YCHT. I've not yet looked into CHAT2, but I have a
feeling it allows an HTTP login in a similar way to YCHT.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Sorry, that was gobble-te-gook. Let me rephrase...

Even if, the next time they do it, it never manages to get back out into
the open, there's always a protocol which doesn't use encrypted login
authentication - YCHT. I've not yet looked into CHAT2, but I have a
feeling it allows login authentication over HTTP in a similar way to YCHT.
