Just one remark regarding CC65. Maybe i was just dumb (or did something wrong), but for me it seems the plus4 library is not complete, like graphics support. I mean it is created, but missing parts. (some more experienced programmer may confirm if it is true or not )
There is also a Pascal (called G-Pascal), it was a big hype at the time of release, maybe I can find my booklet I printed years ago (but never had the time to try it out). UPDATE: never mind, I found it on Internet http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/onrequest/G-Pascal.pdf
It may manage labels and structured programming, and I always felt Pascal is similar to Basic http://plus4world.powweb.com/sd.php?pid=12957 (there is also an editor for that. As I know, it can compile self-running assembly code, but who knows what compile means in different programs? worth a try)
I remember a kind of BASIC development cross-tool for C64 (maybe the one linked above? I am not sure, but that one looks great). Even if C64 only, could be used during development phase (with the limitation: no v3.5 commands, but POKE and PEEK).
There was also Pascal cross-compiler, but cannot find right now. Lemme check...
BTW, if I remember well, both the latest Plus4EMU and Yape allows in Windows environment cursor positioning by Mouse click, and also clipboard copy/paste is possible. It will do most of the things you need for more fluent programming.
