> I wish edit-and-continue, rewinding time, etc... would be better supported across IDEs. Programming should be a "conversation with the machine", and ultimately with other programmers. When I'm stepping through my own code, I try to assume the role of an "outsider" and judge my code from the "outside". This is because of a good reason: implementing debugging is hard ... very hard, and therefore expensive to implement. This is of course the main reason in practice.
