The problem is you've named pretty much every IDE in use by software |
| 49 |
developers today, with the possible exception of Visual Studio which |
| 50 |
is probably not applicable anyways. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Now don't take this the wrong way, because I'm not at all trying to be |
| 53 |
condescending, but have you considered contributing your coding talent |
| 54 |
to Eclipse or CodeBlocks to make those products better suit your |
| 55 |
needs? Your problem is one faced by developers every day, but it |
| 56 |
seems like you're still thinking in a closed frame of mind. If you |
| 57 |
don't like it, change it! |
| 58 |
