So instead we are building tools like the Developer Assistant which will make it easier for developer to install the tools they do want and need, as opposed to trying to preload the system with every development tool under the sky. So the developer focus will more take the form of having a couple of items available like the Developer Assistant that makes installing development tools and scenarios easier and working on features like improved terminal handling and so on, as it is a much wanted developer request.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for taking the time to clear up my misconceptions.
Though I didn't go so far as expecting to find 500 different IDEs
