I think JCL should concentrate his small workforce solely on the engine, a new IDE and SDKs for major languages.
Everything else is already out there, and people are already using them.
For those who like the pretty webpages, complete bundled tools in all of the later "gamemakers", well they will go there anyway.

I know that the engine would then progress so much faster.

On the other hand, maybe we are just about to get the greatest news we have ever had. (hope, hope).
