I am just one voice but if Arduino is going to have call-home capabilities, I think we should jump this runaway train ASAP.
Fortunately the whole IDE is in github, so its possible to fork and change it if necessary
But i agree that fragmentation and everyone having their own flavor of IDE won't help anyone.
So I can't quit see it coming to that, unless all parties involve are hell bent on self destruction.
