I think that the power of shell programming (particularly with the use of the perl language) is by far superior of the power of modern GUI applications.
In particular, I would like to compare programming with vim + shell scripting + perl with programming with IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans. And of course I am asking your opinion ! Perhaps one problem in vim is the source code browsing: the standard tags facilities aren't too much advanced and useful. But this can be adjusted writing a simple program in perl (or even a awk script) that extracts information from the tags file generated with exuberant ctags. And I think this is superior to the standard functionality of Eclipse or NetBeans. Vim can even be controlled via shell scripting with the --remote options ! The question is: - are there better solutions ? - what else is missing for making vim and the unix shell (with perl, awk, ecc.) the "ultimative IDE", better than Eclipse or NetBeans or Visual Studio ? (and this for every language). (I don´t forget the existence of gnu global or doxygen too...). - what other unix tools are needed (for listing call trees for debugging, ecc) ? - Unix + vim are better than GUI-IDEs or not in your eyes ?
