RIPS is at the moment to be considered alpha at best.

The editor is rather stable but has a lot of warts and some (or many :-) bugs.
The launcher is very stable and has no known bugs itself, but the widgets lack some features.
Documentation is only half written, but will improve soon.

Missing / Planned Features

• Some widgets (e.g.: splitter, sizer, grid, toolbar, statusbar, canvas)
• Write dialog / program source
• Database connectivity (DBI can be used)
• Debugger
• Internationalization
• Version management (CVS integration)
• Module management (CPANPLUS/ppm integration)
• Report generator
• launcher for different toolkits (Tk, qt)
