A bit like those purists who sneer at IDEs and write everything using Vi (when they can't find a vintage Edlin). I can see why people like using IDEs, but I prefer to us vi for Linux development purely because I feel that IDEs are turning programmers 'soft'. I generally have a terminal for each header file I am working on, a terminal for each work file I am working on, and a terminal to compile and debug. That's all the IDE I need. |

Well, I was once much the same, but using Visuals Studio has convinced me otherwise. When the IDE provides context-sensitive symbol completion and shows me the parameters needed for the function in a popup window I spend a lot less time referring to headers and manuals. -- Ray Fischer |

I have to use Visual Studio at work and auto-completion is one of the things that irritates me. I agree that it is useful in negating the need for looking up references for functions and classes, but it often pops up obscuring the previous line of code that I need to look at. In addition, if you make one typographical error, you can suddenly find it has inserted something like _Application_Domain_blah_blah, which is most unhelpful. |
