Can't get script-IDE plugin to work? Runs but does nothing?

Question

I need to install this plugin because the default IDE is driving me crazy. I tried both a direct download and the asset lib way. It's enabled. No error messages. I even put in a print message to tell me that it's loaded. But for whatever reason the actual plugin doesn't do anything - the left script menu still opens when it should auto close, and the tabs do not appear. Every script I click on has the same horrible IDE behavior of only appearing in the same tab.

Is there some setting hidden somewhere in the editor that is keeping this from working right?

Seems to me like the addon has a lot of issues, perhaps ask the developer about it?

After enabling the addon it seems to work just fine for me. Make sure you install it from the AssetLib tab and let it install in the default location.
