From the quote at the end of the article: "The continued dominance of the command line among experts [...]" -- is that even true anymore? I certainly live in the shell, but looking at my younger co-workers who are in their 20's, they hardly ever use the command line.
The IDE is the new command line, it seems.
- mdwrigh2 16y agoAs a young 20-something (20, actually, to be exact), I'd say that the best programmers I know still use the command line to a significant degree. Though we are small in number compared to the number of people who live in some IDE.
- frou_dh 16y agoI was under the impression that living in the IDE was only popular for certain languages (Java, C#, MSVC++, ...) Not necessarily a bad thing - I like using Visual Studio when doing C#.

I don't, because while I know vim verbiage, I've never found it more productive than having a big fookin' screen with TextMate and some terminals floating around. I'd probably feel differently if I went back to working on Linux.
