When I worked in Java, I couldn't imagine *not* using an IDE. There was just so much boilerplate stuff that the IDE could supply that I would have otherwise had to type (and probably forget a few). It was a real benefit to define something, and have the IDE fill in all the supporting code that was needed. Once I switched to Python, though, IDEs didn't buy me anything. I stuck with BBEdit on the Mac for a long time (still use it for some things), but a few years ago I made the switch to vim and haven't regretted it for a minute. When I spin up a new server one of the first things I copy over are my .bash_aliases and .vimrc files. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f9ae8e39-7cdf-4481-b955-474c11ad0...@rackspace.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
