Good question to which I would be interested to read an answer as 
well. I would certainly use the feature if available, thus my interest.
For what I can infer from the commits in the git tree that I'm 
following on a daily basis this feature was never started. AFAIK it 
was never discussed on the development mailing list and there is no 
SEP describing it.
Predicting when the GUI generator will be ready in Scilab is therefore 
a bit hard ;-) I think a more basic question is whether this feature 
will be developed at some point of time or not.
Note that I'm often wrong in my perception of these things, though.
Final answer left to the opteam. Their updated roadmap looks overdue.

Well, this works for me in Scilab 5.1:
   a=1;editvar a
Or do you perhaps mean something else?
