Really? Why would Sierra spend time doing that when they can be improving their product? The Visual Studio IDE can be overwhelming at first, but it does the job quite well, and it is free.
Perhaps to step up to the level of Tradestation, Multicharts, NinjaTrader even Metatrader5.

Its not about Visual Studio IDE be overwhelming(I guess you assuming I have never used visual studio before), or because its free.

But I guess you prefer not to be able to have a complete self contained package that don't depend on a third party hand off that you cant get any support for.
Ability to optimize your source code for fastest speed.
Ability to optimize input variables.
Ability to back test and optimize input variables against several symbols in a single pass.
Ability to easily code windows/forms to control SC strategies and indicators.

So in your mind, none of these things are important or having all this available in one solid platform is an improvement on "their" product.
Just because the coding products you have developed and sold(spreadsheets,S3) may not need any of the aforementioned abilities.
Having these abilities would improve "their" product and gain more customers who want and need the mention abilities to try and develop more advanced trading capabilities.
