The IDE seems to have a few issues, but I've found them mostly in the way that things are defaulted, and the fact that the intellisense is pretty weak compared to IDE's I've worked with in the past(FDT, Visual Studio).
I find I'm also struggling around not knowing what's going on with objects a lot of the time. There's the watch list, but you're lucky if that works. Sometimes just reading what's in an associative array can be a nightmare. Sometimes accessing what's in a return results in siezing up, and a total IDE shutdown with loss of work.
Plus, not being able to write code while the IDE is running is a serious setback, I run the program, see what's in the object, copy what I need into a notepad document, kill the program, copy-paste, and hope it works a lot of the time.
Not hating, just saying that these things are standard in a lot of IDE's these days, it's a shame they aren't in this one.
