After 40 years of developing I have tried a lot of editors. The worst is paper tape to paper tape. You copy the whole progam source on a flex-o-writer stopping at just the right place to type insertions and skipping past deletions by turning a small knob on the paper tape reader to advance the input tape past the characters to remove.
The almost as bad is IBM punch cards. I like emacs. I am biased because I spent 5 years programming a Symbolics Lisp Machine. I must admit that I have used Microsoft's IDE and found it very productive in that environment. I was not able to use Kdevelop for Linux driver development. I found emacs best for me. I have not tried to use Kdevelop for MythTV yet. I think it may have potential for applications development. --Mac On Friday 23 September 2005 10:09 am, Adam Egger wrote: > On 9/23/05, Keith C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > What's your favorite editor for develop a mythtv ? > > > > And so begins the Vi/Vim v Emacs battle of Sep 23rd > > 2005.
