Develop Azure apps sans IDES
I like Google's AppEngine because all I need sis a very small SDK. I do not need to download a monster such as Visual Studio. I think it would make developers lives better if you provide a means to develop AzureApps using simple scripts like yaml and dynamic languages, such as Python.
This capability is supported today.
Cory’s blog link below shows how you can use an SDK for the open source Language of your choice, plus command-line tools to facilitate an end to end development process of deploying to Windows Azure.

You do not need Visual Studio in order to Package, Run, or Deploy your Projects to Azure.
The SDK Includes CSPack, CSRun and CSUpload which allow you to create a cspkg file, run your app in the Compute Emulator, and deploy a VM Role to the Cloud.
Here is a link to the Documentation for the Commandline tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg433087.aspx
