I wrote a hypertext system in Turbo Pascal - this was before NCSA Mosaic. What sold me was that it was one of the first IDEs. A friend mentioned that, when the compiler found an error, it would bring up the editor and position you at the error. This was huge! Plus, it selling for maybe 1/10th the price of other compilers.
