Ahem. So you have installed Eclipse under Sugar and somehow developed and debugged a Sugar application what is nice... Wait! You did not!
So if we just ignore your Straw Man argument (you know what I have said that you need GBs or RAM to run the dx optimizer tool, not the IDE), the problem is still there that you only can run an usable development environment on a full Linux distro and you cannot even develop Sugar applications with it. For the other people talking about IDEs: an usable IDE is not a text editor. The whole problem stems from the simple fact that you think that an IDE is just a text editor. While it is possible to develop applications even with ed (I used mcedit myself), I would rather poke my eyes out than to try to develop anything with Pippy again. What you do not want to recognize is that you are excluding a lot of developers who do not want to waste their time because of the lack of IDEs. In other words: because of resource constraints you have not made contributing code easy so you have resource constraints now. ps: And please stop this "who started developing code in more painful environments" race. I myself created several world records on the c64 some 15+ years ago so I know exactly what was the norm at that time. But somehow I do not think that I can waste 10x the required time just because there were not more productive development environments existing then. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
