I'll vote for this too.

Mozilla has great concepts and architecture and would be wonderful to work
with. But the fud I have about using mozilla is: when will it be ready and
will it be robust enough?
Other IDEs that have been around would be a much more stable and less risky to
use. It may take a little more time, though. I find wxPython a very good
candidate. IE is good in some sense but has the platform disadvantage.
