Hi Nick. I guess you know my opinion differs on the versions. I am on IDE v1.0.1-rc2 now. It is working really well for my sketches. Of course, they are mostly ethernet shield related. I have most of the bugs out of that library already, and I am running the w5200 version of Wiznet's code on a w5100 with no problems.
I have always liked the view as the lead dog.
