My list of programming/scripting languages to learn is getting longer
and longer faster than I can cross them off... Are you aware of any
particular reason of using Lua for extending the IDE? Is SciTE perhaps
implemented in Lua itself?

Anyway, I'm afraid I'm one of those guys who never got around to using
Emacs beyond X-c and a couple of others (which I've gracefully
forgotten already a number of years ago) so I'm not that keen on
extending an IDE with macros etc.

Thanks for mentioning it, though. I wouldn't want my rather blunt
comparison between SciTE and notepad to stand between me and learning
about other IDE's...
