Arcmap has (had?) a VBA IDE, that was very popular before .NET caught on.

By providing a similar tool, ArcGIS Pro would make development easier.

I read that ArcGIS Pro uses ActiPro behind the scenes.  

ActiPro has a SyntaxEditor control that can be used in apps to edit C# code.

Microsoft.Net.Compilers could be used by ArcGIS Pro to compile the code into memory.

A collection of samples could also be provided, for example, see LinqPad.

I like the idea of a built in editor. I still dip into the VBA editor for fast prototyping of ArcObjects, to test something out. With the current visual studio approach one is always having to compile/debug which just adds an overhead to any testing of code.
