Not sneered at. Have you tried an IDE such as the one Tony 
and others describe?

Not so. I like to think I use the best tools for the job 
at hand - without prejudice. Most recently, I wrote a perl 
script that writes code for me. It handles writing code 
that takes signals from roughly 2000 simulated X-38 flight 
vehicle sensors (as described in our digital data 
library), packs them into a structure, and ships them 
across an RS-422 line to the flight computers. It makes 
sense to do it this way. I've written sed/awk scripts that 
process the JSBSim code as needed for various edits. I've 
set up and maintained CVS repositories for several 
projects. I've even used patch/diff. I don't like it. I 
like to see exactly what is going into our code. The IDE 
to display color-coded changes allows me to more easily 
catch mistakes made by others, and to pick and choose 
those changes I wish to implement. Using this kind of a 
tool leverages more of my senses. Give me a lever ...
