I'm currently working on a similar framework, but not necessarily 
focused on IDE's. I have studied Mono- and Sharpdevelop, Eclipse and 
others. These are all impressive pieces of engineering and I have 
learned a lot from them. Because I have studied them I wouldn't be 
surprised if I define similar interfaces. My question is, how far can
a person go? Defining the interfaces is a large portion of the work,
especially when designing a framework.

Cheers,
