Probably one of the main problems in CoqIDE is the naming of the intermediate variables.
Although i always name my variables to keep the code easier to reuse, i 
have no control (or at least i don't know how to control) the naming of the intermediate variables, which result after applying a specific tactic.

It seems that the names of variables' type influence the naming algorithm used in CoqIDE.
For instance, i wanted to change the name of a type from EvaluationArith
 to aeval, i made all the necessary changes in the code, and proof's 
execution failed because the names of intermediate variables have 
changed. My "apply det_ArithEval with (E:=E) (a:=e)." is no longer 
valid.

Dear Coq community members,

We are writing to solicit your thoughts and experiences, via a short (1 page)

online survey, on user interfaces for Coq. We would like to use this input to

help guide our work on a new project which will apply contemporary HCI research

methods and ideas to the user interfaces of proof assistants, Coq in particular.

Two of us (Hourcade and Berman)are HCI researchers, and the other (Stump)

works on type theory. We are hoping to be able bridge the significant gap between

these communities. Your ideas on features for a new interface for Coq will

help a lot!  Responses by Friday, Dec. 9th, would be appreciated.

The survey can be found here:
