Short Term Plans

for i is in version 1.0.2. We have many plans for the short and long-term future. Bear with us.
Code Completion - We dropped this essential feature right before launch due to some serious bugs. We consider it crucial to for i's success and we will have it back in no time.
Better Indentation Handling - right now we default to only parse tab characters. We'll have more options plus better language-dependant parsing (currently, only c-derivited languages have proper handling).
Symbol Selector - To allow you to navigate functions/symbols with ease.
Regular Expressions Search.

Long Term Plans

Ability to open XCode and Visual Studio projects, Git integration, import of TextMate bundles (without the shell commands, of course), building projects through distcc servers, MSDN and ADC documentation integration - they're all coming to for i.
Let us know about anything we forgot.
