All,
I've been running a deal.II short course here in Germany for the past
two weeks. Since the system we were working on was too old to install my
usual development environment, I tried Eclipse -- probably the most
widely used Integrated Development Environment in the world.
To sum things up, I'd say this was an unqualified success. No crashes I
know of, and I think all 15 students got along with it rather well. I
found they learned it quickly and well, and used it in a very productive
way. As for myself, I've really come to appreciate how well things are
integrated and will switch from kdevelop to eclipse for my projects. I
would even say it was fun to use.
If you are still using kate, kedit, gedit, emacs or vi, I'd encourage
you to take a look as well to see how much better these modern IDEs are
compared to old-fashioned editors. I've written up my experiences and
directions for setting everything up here:
