that doesnt check ( ) "" etc so thanks for being a smartass without understanding the point here.
Maybe if you spent less time abusing people and more time thinking about points you might come to the conclusion that mirc is here to use the scripts, not as a development platform, this has been made pretty clear over and over, I myself have asked about additions to it before none ever appear.
And the number of lines you write in a script doesnt mean anything, the result of that many lines is what a script should be based on, i have seen stuff thats uses 1000's of lines and still gets little to nothing done, finding an error in those types of messes is a waste of time and energy while a well set out 10k lines script well take a few mins at best to correct any error what so ever.
As for checking the other apps you mention, why would I? If you say there color coding lines well there color coding lines, but by the fact you said they are, means they are no longer "JUST" a text editor, are they.
