I am very grateful that portable IDE'a have finally come to Portable Apps consideration. I appreciate the effort, time and energy it requites to create a functioning IDE. What I want is an IDE that includes a visual GUI designer and a built-in compiler.
Currently my portable IDE of choice is Judith's IDE for the Euphoria programming language and win32lib. Although a full installation requires the setting of two environment variable, it can be run from a thumb drive using Command Prompt Portable without setting those variables. Programs created with this system are automatically portable. In fact, if you don't use the calendar widget, they will also run under Linux with the Wine loader.
It would take little programming effort to make Euphoria fully portable.
The following non-detailed benchmarks results may be useful (all results in seconds):
Number crunching:
Native code - 10 secs
.NET and Mono - 14
Euphoria Windows and Linux (Wine loader) - 31
Java Windows and Linux - 41
Iron Ruby on .NET - 120
Iron Ruby on Mono (Linux) - 1200 (?!?)
Complex tree-structured data operations:
.NET (array lists) - 100 secs
Euphoria (sequences) - 35

What are you trying to say in this post?
I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1
Only what I would like in a portable development environment. Although such environments as #develop and monodevelop are very nice, they aren't fully portable, yet. I meant Euphoria only as an example of an adequate, functional system, not necessarily one to make fully Portable Apps ready. I consider Netbeans to be an inadequate piece of junk; Bluette for Java from South Korea is very good, but the last time I looked it cost $700.
It would be best if you could post this in the Request Apps Forum:
https://portableapps.com/forums/general/request_apps
Also, read the Un-official Request App Guidelines
https://portableapps.com/node/4507
especially the example request format.
If you post your request in that format, it makes it easier for the developers here to evaluate the app.
Thanks!
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
I'm surprised you didn't plug Lazarus as an alternative.
I AM surprised that more IDE apps haven't made it to the official apps, considering how many Open Source IDE's there are out there.
There's already a few in development stage, including Code::Blocks, Eclipse, Komodo, Lazarus, Netbeans... and there are more that have been requested.

Lazarus may be released as an official application because I added it the the official release post, but I'm pretty sure John is a little too preoccupied in the development of the Menu 2.0 (not a bad thing, at all!), and will get to the official app release forum post when he gets to it. Anyways you can get the un-official version in the Beta Testing Forums, if your interested.
Look at the Codelobster PHP Edition
It if fully portable free PHP IDE.
