No more money in IDE

Borland will get rid of their roots, their programming tools or IDE (interactive development environment) which is how Borland got started. With free tools like Eclipse they say that there is no money to be made in IDE but it seems that Microsoft isn't dumping their tools any time soon. (OK so their OS is tightly coupled with their IDE -- a slight advantage.)

There seems to be a need for a good IDE and I don't think that Eclipse is the answer.

I believe that it all comes down to language and then the supportive tools and applications, much like Smalltalk and dynabook. I don't have the answers but it just doesn't seem that companies are going in the right direction.
