"[A] [T]erminal and decent editor is all you need."
Just to give the other side of the "argument": "all you need" isn't something to strive for. An environment which makes you the most productive is what most people strive for, not the minimum environment to be somewhat productive. IDEs make a lot of people a whole lot faster, and for good reason - smart people have worked really hard to make it that way.
(I mostly use editors and not IDEs these days, but the allure of good IDEs is strong.)
- sjs 16y agoYup. After writing Java for Android in IDEA 10 CE for a few months I die a little inside every time I want to rename a function in C or JavaScript in TextMate. I should check if anyone has used js2-mode to write some refactoring functions for JavaScript in Emacs. What good cross-platform IDEs do people use for C and JavaScript?
