This person, a PC type, has come to the conclusion that "IDEs" exist due to the horrible nature of the languages that they support (in his case Java). That, with a properly designed language, a simple highlighting editor (PDF editor to us, vim/emacs to him) is more than sufficient for coding. The article is short, but I found it interesting because the Windows people tend to denigrate us for the lack of IDEs on the mainframe. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
