Because an external simulator would have more control on the passing of gameticks, tools to wire up one point to another, tools to automatically test inputs to outputs, ... Way easier copy and pasting of certain parts. Auto-tiling of parts of a build. More graphing on the amount of block updates (because more than 1000 planned block next tick will just invisibly cut them off). It's not about building one device, but rather making a platform that makes making devices easier in the long run.
EDIT: The next couple of weeks, I have way too much work to do for school. So don't expect any updates. If you do see me posting updates however, you know I'm screwing myself over. Just to have another screenshot, here's all my backups. xD

What? No tar.*! This is an outrage!
RE: Redstone simulator anyone? - CX gamer - 12-20-2013
Technically not tar.*, but the best I could do given the current setup.

I do plan on setting up linux when I don't need my computer to do stuff for school though. (I've been using VM's for now)

Fair Enough.
Now will you be adding a function to this app that takes the creation you made and imports it into a world so that you don't have to rebuild everything? If anything, that is what would make your app stand out.

Right now I'm importing from .schematics, and of course I'm planning to save to .schematic as well. Since we're using parts of the minecraft code anyway, it should be pretty doable to import and edit a world. But not right at the start, so don't get to enthusiastic just yet.

Real nice results!

Can you export shematic yet?

There's no editing feature yet, so so far there's no point in loading and saving schematics. But I'll make it the next thing I'll do for sure. I'll work on it on sunday.

Also there is beta MCP out for 1.7.2
