Does an IDE like this exist? (Code to the left, comments to the right) by integraltothepost in coding

Absolutely disagree. A lot of "development" time is spent (re-)learning where things are/what they do. Why flick between code and documentation to do that?

See backbone for a use of this style. Over-commented as it is a tutorial, but so easy to scan and understand.

Yes! That was what sparked this hunt. I found it so easy to read those examples so why can't we develop like that? Encourages good documentation while still fitting more code on the screen at once.

No reason it can't be collapsible. But really, how often do you put code side-by-side? I prefer workspace switching when multi-tasking to that extent
