Well, I talked briefly to the Manx people at the AmiExpo in New York
recently.  The plans are for a very *nice* integrated package (via
AREXX ports).

What this is: a new SDB, the 5.0 compiler, and Z talking together
via AREXX to give a "QuickC" environment. Of course, since it is
AREXX, you can use other editors instead of Z like CED or Uedit.  I
think it will be worth the wait. (Sometime in the summer, but I am not
holding my breath)
