Hi Dominik,
I'm afraid it's unlikely (in my opinion) that any further development
will be done on that tool.
What I'd suggest is to look for a programmer-oriented text editor or IDE
that can be configured to conveniently run arbitrary tools command-line
tools (e.g. from a "Build" menu or similar), and perhaps also has
configurable syntax coloring features that can be set up to recognize
the TECkit keywords, etc.

The documentation for TEC mapping files mentions the Mapping Editor. But
a) I can't find it for Linux, and b) it "does not handle mapping
descriptions written as Unicode text; it is strictly an 8-bit editing
environment." Is there any chance that these limitations, especially
the latter, might be addressed in future? Especially for Asian
languages that have widely-used transliteration schemes and multiple
alphabets (like Sanskrit), TECket mapping has moved way beyond its
original purpose of mapping legacy 8-bit charsets.
Best,
Dominik
