There is just so much in error here, it is difficult to know where to begin and how to avoid writing a 5000 word essay. Let me just say "you can fool most of the people, most of the time". IDEs are not a "silver bullet" despite what the majority of programmers have been brainwashed into believing. IDEs and text editors are just tools, professionalism is learning to use the right tool for the right job in the context of the job in hand and the person undertaking the job. The real problem is that most text editors and most IDEs are massively over-bloated with features no-one is ever going to use, and which often mask all the really important features that people would find very helpful if they did use them. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
