Could be a bit of both, it depends on many factors. > There is a huge difference. There is a difference between development and administration. But at the same time there is overlap. Usually more on the system administration side and coding. Programmers, more so in enterprise environments tend to not touch anything system related. They have their systems ready to go, IDE installed, and just fire up, code, get paid, go home. However its an enterprise development for embedded systems. That might change a bit depending on their testing environment and the development processes. Just the same if a enterprise system administrator is given a certain task, that might require coding. System administrators do code at times, though mostly tend to script. One thing to keep in mind is most all FOSS software documented in man pages has no equivalent in an IDE. If one wanted to do say C or C++ development on Linux. Not sure which IDE I would recommend. Having tried several, you end up having to do things outside the IDE either way. > Being a consultant that specializes in application security I deal > with development teams from many different verticals.

This is bad all the way around. Why can't a company have standards based around VI/VIM or Emacs? What if the company had a process but it just included VI? Don't get me wrong I use an IDE. But I am not surprised when working in the FOSS world when I come across programmers that use, or code that was written with VI/VIM or Emacs. I see it to often for it to be any sort of shock or surprise. Sometimes I feel like my skills are below par, because I am not coding in them or doing things as rapid as others. Much less with the quality that others produce with the crappy tools ;) -- William L.
