[BlindMath] Thoughts on Using IDEs (was C++ IDE)

[Susan Jolly]

Very interesting feedback from other experienced programmers.  I was, of 
course, addressing beginner programmers.

Hi Louis.  Thanks for your reply. I really don't know what to say.  I've 
never had to work in an environment where every one else is much more 
productive because they are using a tool I can't use and I can't find or 
develop effective alternatives.

Hi Doug. Thanks for the info. I use Java, not C++.  However it does seem 
that Visual Studio for Windows 10 supports both its own command-line type 
option and a sophisticated IDE. I hope one or both of these options turn out 
to be useful for you.

As a matter of historical interest, when I was still working our team's 
entire source was something like 100,000 lines in a single file.  Even many 
years ago, a file that size could be searched easily and quickly with a text 
editor on the supercomputers of the time.  I thought it was a step backwards 
when we moved to Unix and multiple separate files.
