I've never really used it in that mode very much. For the correct answer, you'd have to try it (they do have a trial version of the IDE you can D/L).

Nifty. SPARC-Solaris and PPC-OSX versions available, but only the x86
Linux. Hm... That's two machines I could run it on. But... $300?

Yeah, the price has gone up a LOT since I bought it. I got a home hobbiest license for $60 a few years ago. However, I would pay the $300 today if I didn't already have a license (especially now that I'm programming full-time and have the $$ again).


I run it on every machine I have when I need to. I have it on this laptop, on my server, and on my workstation. Used to have it on a machine where I worked (allowing access only to me and no one else in the company).

The same with Understand, only that I still use at work and I have both a Linux and a Windows license.


Whoops, they want registration information. Not sure I want to provide _that_ at this stage.

Well, I've never received spasm from them other than what I've asked for (update/new release info) if that means anything.




I would guess that, since they've had the capability since virtually day one of the first release, it would be pretty damned good.


I dunno about _that_. MSWindows has had a command-line tool since virtually day one. . . .

The difference being M$ Winsucks was developed by idiots, for idiots, and the entire project is overseen by one single idiot. ;)

Hm...

I'll admit, I don't find those examples compelling. But I acknowledge
that it's just a small amount of the functionality being demonstrated, and that there's a lot of information being presented there that might be useful to *someone*.



When they were current (neither are now - too little time to maintain and too little bandwidth to upload the gigs of text) my web stats were very good. The kernel source got over 100,000 hits in less than a month, and there were 4 mirrors to take some of the load. So, someone found it useful (and many folks kept coming back).


Not nearly as useful as using the application while developing tough.
