Create a proper form designer
Enable rich form design tools
A form designer is definitely out of scope. My intention is not to create a fully-featured replacement for the VB6 IDE, but give people who need to maintain VB6 code the ability to use a modern development environment.

That's okay, but other suggestions to make this open source seem even more important. I don't think it can be questioned that the product would be improved with a form designer, but if that's not what you'd like to do, possibly others would, and we'd all be richer for it.

@Steve Romanow - no need to get nasty,the fact that you don't vote on it IS a vote.
I think it would be great - and I think that it wouldn't be nearly as hard as it at first seems, but I do agree that it seems way to early in the project to think about this now. Also there was not much info about what the direction actually is of the project, it's but more clearer now.

Not trivial and I would def use vb6 ide for that level of work. Wish we had a downvote ability.
