Embarcadero’s RAD Studio has offered the ability save named IDE layouts for a decade or more. Further, you can designate a default “editing” layout and a default “debugging” (program-run-time) layout.
Edit
- If implemented, this takes IDE clutter out of Anvil’s hands, and into ours – for better or worse!
- Wing IDE defaults to everything being on display. Maximum clutter. Not at all beginner-friendly. So I suspect that the newbie default should have minimum clutter, to avoid scaring people off.
- With pre-packaged layouts available for different tasks.
