 Well it was BLS who said ... instead of Bruce.
 
 Wow! I appreciate the new heights to which exaggeration has now
 reached. It's cool to know that our cave-dwelling ancestors were
 familiar with DOS!
 
 However, Bruce's point will not be erased by any amount of hyperbole.
 When I program in D, I use a text editor, not an IDE. To be sure, it's
 a programmer's text editor, with syntax highlighting; one that knows
 how to build D, and jump to the line causing any error, but still
 ultimately just a text editor. And it is more than adequate for the
 task.
 
 Not everyone uses an IDE. Neolithic jibes notwithstanding, that's just a fact.


 If guess a lot of you folks still prefer to write letters instead of 
 emails. just kidding :)
 However the architecture of current IDE's is allready ~15 years old. It 
 is time to give 'em a cozy home on your 386 farm, guess they like to see 
 the kids grow.

Its not in dispute that a good IDE can improve your productivity. It is in
dispute that its the best way. Clearly a lot of us are here because we believe
improving the language is a better solution than simply using a better IDE for
C++.
