XCode?

• osteele 9y ago
  D'oh! (I also have fond memories of Think C and then Metrowerks, back in the day. A lot of us used them at Apple, instead of the official MPW.) This brings up some other advantages of text editors versus IDEs, within my limited experience: * More rapid support for more languages and syntaxes * Many of the IDEs just feel sluggish. (Yes, Atom can get that way with large files, large numbers of files, or too many plugins.) * Xcode in particular kept crashing on me last time I used it for Swift.

    > fond memories of Think C and then Metrowerks Me too, especially the former. It's so weird the things our nostalgia anchors itself to. And don't get me started on ResEdit. My emotional palette has a color reserved specifically for the feeling I got poking around applications and creating icons and cursors using it.
