I was using a free open source IDE but since my regular dev box is
down I thought I'd give Rainbow IDE a shot.
It looks pretty good and the ability to build disk images that easily
is really nice.  There a few things that are holding me back from
registering for the moment.

1. Can I have it build multiple disk images from one build?  Several
of the things I've worked on require multiple floppies and I need to
be able to put same files on 1 disk and others on all disks.
2. The width of the editing area isn't as wide as I like.
3. I prefer to use some of the 6800 instructions such as DEX
(translates to LEAX  -1,X) and your code highlighting does not support
this.  I just find it a little easier to read that way. 
4. I'm not sure what integration it will offer with C compilers.
5. The installer you used says you are using an unregistered copy.  If
you don't register... why should we?
