No, that's the point. Line numbers don't work in this version.
The colors are really aesthetically unappealing. Once again, you should NOT try and imitate QB, it looks ugly in a windows environment. A professional-looking white background, blue keywords, green comments, black text & numbers and red strings would look far better to most people. Runtime functions like "print" are not keywords(like "if" and "sub"), they're regular functions and should fit in. Even if they were keywords, parenthesis should not be part of the keyword. Bold text looks akward in fixed width fonts. I know you can change it, but you want a default theme with the most appeal to the average user.
On this note the margin would better thinner (~10-16 pixels), with a lighter bg color and with a pixel thin line separating it from the main next. It would be nice to have an option to turn it off as well.
I know you're still working on it, but the bottom margin is wasted space. A nice status bar, displaying line and column numbers would look better there, or have nothing there at all.
As far as features go, I wonder how feasable it is to parse bi files and use them for syntax checking...
So far, so good, man, it's looking better every time.
