I guess I anticipated comparisons to FreeRIDE. :)  You're right, it is
similar to FreeRIDE in that it uses FOX and Scintilla, but there is no code
in common and it has a very different framework.  I'm not sure I'm bold
enough to call Mondrian an improvement to FreeRIDE yet (I like FreeRIDE, and
there are good aspects of it that my program doesn't yet share), but it does
take a different direction in some areas in that it is project-based and
handles the source browser and syntax highlighting with its own parser.

On the downside it is not able to work with large projects as quickly as
FreeRIDE, but hopefully makes up for it in other areas.

As to effort, I've been working on it heavily for the past 5 or 6 months
while I've been blessedly jobless. :)
