Not that I know of; my approach is usually centered around wanting to
add/fix a specific feature, I just start poking around in the code from the
top down... try to find the relevant source file, and trace a path from the
external stimulus (user action, scheduled event, whatever) down.

>What development environment or tools are most myth developers using?

Your favorite text editor + a terminal window seems to be the favorite among
the primary Myth developers.  Two of the most popular IDEs for Linux are
KDevelop and 'anjuta'.  If you're coming from a M$ environment, you might
find it more comfortable to share a directory with Samba and use your
favorite Windows IDE to browse and edit the code, and just use a remote
Linux terminal to do the compiling.
