Would be great to have an IDE that is open source, can debug, and has ci support provided by codeigniter

Zend has an IDE, .Net has a great IDE, Delphi has a great IDE.

I think that is one of the things that makes those languages / frameworks much easier to pick up and use.

Is there any reason why codeigniter / ellsilabs could not recommend (contribute to to make it work well) an open source IDE that can comes with a php debugger that works with CI without the extensive hacks that seem to be the only way?

I think it would be very good for people starting with the framework and also provide a great "selling point".

Just a thought!
