An IDE is certainly little more than normal text editor. Halcyon IDE provides a beautiful user interface that can highlight the source code syntactically and semantically and makes it easier for faster development.

The side panel besides the workspace is easier to navigate through the important nmap files, especially the scripts, library, and data directories.

The scanning options such as scan type, script arguments, argument file, packet tracking and other debugging settings can be configurable within the interface.

The post development actions such as exporting the scripts into Nmap installation directory and updating script database is simplified in the interface.
