Agree about the name, it implies that is's T4... :) People here claim that you don't need IDE support for T5, that isn't entirely true. There's still plumbing required to write T5 components and pages. Obviously a LOT less than in, say, Struts. But still plumbing. Some of the plumbing is now handled by Loom, like creating tml from template and switching between java and tml. But there are still quite a few occasions where I find myself copying and pasting code. For example when I need to create a mixin, which almost always needs ComponentResources and RenderSupport. Or when I have to deal with more complex things, like PrimaryKeyEncoders, Selectmodels and OptionModels, and so on. And it is slightly painful typing correct syntax in the TML, remembering the names of the components and the required parameters.
It would also be nice with content assist on IOC code. For example "add new dependency" feature, which adds a private final field and a constructor argument for the new dependency. Remember, I'm really reaching here to find negative and painful things about T5, it's not easy :) But with an IDE that smooths out the tiny rough edges that are still there, my workdays are going to be really really sunny this summer.
