blIDE is still in very early development, so this is a rather incomplete list. It will not be possible to list many features until they are implemented, but these are some we are almost definitely going to include.

• Full syntax highlighting which is completely customizable
• Many powerful class manipulation tools
• Extremely powerful plugin interface
• Support for any compiler through plugins
• Support for almost any programming language through plugins
• Graphical CVS interface
• Automatic generation and maintenance of the full set of standard GNU files (AUTHORS, README, autoconf and automake files, etc.) under Linux
