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

Fri Oct 20 03:53:12 UTC 2017

This is an age old argument and probably fits a programming list more than
Blind math.  If you guys are really interested in the argument over IDE or
editor then search on google for it.  Here is a good couple articles though

http://corgibytes.com/blog/2016/08/09/IDE-vs-Text-Editor/

I can tell you I code in so many languages I find that I use text editor for
some and IDE for some and text editor if I am learning a big set of code and
an IDE if I am fixing a big set of code.  I agree with the first link I put
in this email.    An IDE is just one tool and an editor is another.

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.
