While i think lite-c is a very good language(lite-c is why i didnot switched), but yes, features and editors are waay to old.

The next engine(A8? which i think they should start working on immediately) they should completely rewrite the rendering engine and the editors from scratch while keeping the lite-c functional. They should stop worrying about backward compatibility, and make a better engine with up-to-date features. Years ago when the unity was not around and when there was no T3D, GS was a good competitor to them. But now the editors are still same with that times, gamestudio is falling way behind them, soon it wont be able to keep up the race. -personal thoughts.
