There is now a Google Code project page (MIT license) for DEVötiön, and version 0.5.0 is available for download. A couple of notes:
1. This requires the .NET 2.0 runtimes
2. This is very much a "use at your own risk" program. Back up your stuff!
3. It's not done completely, and I'm aware the Intellisense is incomplete (and may behave strangely). Anybody that wants to work on the Intellisense.xml file is more than welcome to.

ORIGINAL POST:
Hi everybody, I just recently "discovered" LÖVE and it took me back to my happy early days of 2D programming. I was impressed with how much you can do with just a little script. Over the years, I've gotten spoiled with excellent development tools (Eclipse, Visual Studio, NetBeans, etc.), and I was a little disappointed to not find a true I.D.E. for LÖVE. So last night I wrote one.
It's far from complete, but it's already pretty useful. It treats .LOVE files as projects. When you open one, it unzips it all into a temp folder where you do all your work. When you exit, close or click to run your project, it re-zips that into the .LOVE file (replacing the original). It supports syntax-highlighting and multiple tabs.
Plans include 1,000-level Undo/Redo, bookmarks, multiple-document Find/Replace, image preview, and merged package build (with custom icon).
It's written in C# (.NET 2.0 framework), so there's the Mono option for non-Windows users.
Feel free to throw in feature requests and suggestions. I'll release it when I think it's "good enough", and if there's enough interest I'll probably stick it up on Google Code.
(Note: I just found the post about DÖVE, which looks like a different approach to an I.D.E. than I'm taking. You can't have too many projects, right?)
