IDEs, big memory footprint, yes. IDEs, big startup cost, yes. IDEs, vastly more supportive, useful software development functionality than editors, especially for debugging, yes. It's that last one, the one about getting working software developed faster, that is the one that has moved me away from Emacs to IDEs. But everyone to their own, there is no universal truth in this arena. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
