Let's face it, we're living in the 21st Century. Maybe I am too old for modern 21st century apps. Maybe not. I even used Linux with kernel version below 1.0.0, don't exactly remember which one. During my development career I used many advanced IDEs: Borland Pascal, Delphi, Borland C++ builder, JBuilder and some other. At last I fallen in love to emacs and after starting programming in Java to JDEE for emacs. Look, Emacs shouldn't be user friendly because it isn't for users. Emacs is for developers so it should be developers friendly. And it is! I assume you are Java programmer. If you have troubles with remembering just few function names how can you be good Java programmer? Java has much more classes and methods. And each new JDK release offers next sets of packages with classes. Development is all about learning. If just don't like learning change your duty. Actually I am not going to force you use emacs+jdee or other IDEs or change your programming habits. Emacs+JDEE is for java developers as well as other Java Builders. They are simply for different kind of developers. Don't change emacs! I love it as is. If you don't like it switch to different IDE.
PS. Please, please don't send copy of your e-mails to my address. I read jdee mailing list regularly so I don't need copies of each mail. regards Artur Hefczyc -- Artur Hefczyc [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wttools.sourceforge.net/ http://geotools.sourceforge.net/
