I use it from time to time @ this point ... the most recent beta release is
a bit less stable than I'd prefer, but Lothar is hard @ work on making the
foundation of the application more solid...

He's done a really good job with Arachno ... and I can't wait for the next
release ...

Just before the release he had started working on scriptability for the
environment ... ( to allow external custom scripts be able to interact with
the software ) ... and he had added some nice auto templates and electric
braces ...

All of which I love ... it really is a GOOD environment.
