Another reason I’m liking working exclusively in AS6 with Visual Micro. Start typing something and Intellisense kicks in, giving you pop-ups of possible functions, their descriptions and syntax. I guess this means that @Daniel_Garcia and @Mark_Kriegsman are going to really pay attention to the comments in their code. Easter Egg anyone?
What makes you think there would ever be easter eggs in FastLED?
Hence the question mark. 
I’ve been using Visual Micro with Visual Studio ever since I started using FastLED. It really does make things nicer, and the Intellisense is one of the best features!
Agreed! And there are plenty of folks on their forums saying the same thing. I’d like to know their philosophy for sticking with the IDE they have now. Even that has been enhanced by forum members and they continue to ignore those enhancements. Something as simple as the drop down menus not having the ability to scroll, quite annoying.
Being a Java app it looks horrible on OS X too. I experimented with EmbedXcode (http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/EmbedXcode) and it works ok, but there are quirks and it’s not going to keep up with Arduino environment betas very well.
For now I’m going with a haphazard combination of bare Xcode editor windows (no .xcproject setup) and “use external editor” in the Arduino environment, compiling and uploading from there.
this is what the Xcode for mac does, it just takes away the silly spelling mistakes and makes coding 100 times easier.
shame that as6 isn’t available for mac.
