Thanks for the feedback.  I would like to add the page of a recent course 
of ours at Paris: http://www.lri.fr/~wenzel/Isabelle2011-Paris/ where we 
were using the Isabelle/jEdit IDE of official Isabelle2011.  The feedback 
was quite positive even with this old version.

My general impression is that the "first contact" with Isabelle has become 
much easier.  Things are still lacking for power users, but there has been 
quite some progress in the past few months.  I have already reworked the 
rendering in the editor substantially, and are now about to revise the 
interaction model again to burn less CPU cycles.

Good to hear.  If you do encounter unexpected behaviour, just tell me so 
that I can address it.
