Development environment

btw, this totally solves the problem with changing versions: the changed version number will hardly ever result in a merge-conflict, as you will probably not edit the very top part of the file when you are making your changes.

Something that would be fantastic, is the ability to have a few pre determined view types that could be manipulated around.  This is something that SharePoint does and could be very beneficial to the environment that we are working in.  A perfect example is a list view (select the items that you would like to show) and a list view in a calendar form. This way I have something basic to start with to build on.
