I think blender could be a great all in one tool. Maybe we can get something like improved image and text editors (the image editor separate like the text editor), and project management in the text editor.
Syntax highlighting using external files, a blender image format, and even separate file formats for blender’s data would be sweet. A man can dream can’t he…
i like to use the image editor to paint textures becose it updates the modal in realtime, witch you cannot do with an external program, but having more tools would make it much more usfal. like drawing subserfised uv,s and making the sample tool ignore the blue uv’s
