Thank you all for the replies! I guess we should stick to the ideas and try not to get much coupled to a certain tool. I like the simplicity and power of Emacs. However, Eclipse is also a killer platform (and marvelous piece of work, kudos to all the Eclipse platform developers!) and JDT, as hank sais - "lives and breaths java" - it's not about languages being so similar (they really are) but rather it is about having the tool helping you write good code and letting you focus on what's important. The Eclipse plug-ins that really leverage the Eclipse platform actually do that, they really help you code!
So, I guess there isn't really the holy grail of editor as much as there isn't the holy grail of languages. I will stick with the main idea from the book, though - "automatize everything you can". I will also study emacs on my spare time (well, I hope I get some free time soon :P) - I also think it's important not to have a fanatic mindset - it only limits our minds. Cheers and happy 2007 everyone! Marcelo. On 1/3/07, Martin Heidegger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I wonder how difficult it must be to integrate a proper editor into a browser, it could help in Open source development: For example als Firefox Plugin you could have "code fields" that get automatically presented in your favourite code style. Real time checking of libraries for the certain languages. Direkt SVN support: You surve on the SVN and then click "edit" and your development tool works with a local copy and tells you that you might test it offline (with a deployment/test description in the certain svn root). Some syntax roles. Maybe bonjour support and of course code completion based to the svn content ... well who would want more? yours Martin.
