I really dont know what happened, but borland c++ 3.1 was the very best IDE I have ever used, no amount of emacs can replace it in my heart.
Delphi was super good as well.
We have only gone backwards since those days..
- agumonkey 5y agohey apparently someone made a dosbox distro to play with borland c++ https://developerinsider.co/download-turbo-c-for-windows-7-8-8-1-and-windows-10-32-64-bit-full-screen/amp/ https://developerinsider.co/download-turbo-c-for-windows-7-8...
- markus_zhang 5y agoI'm wondering if it's possible to retain the editor but use modern toolchain such as GCC? I guess it's definitely possible but how can I achieve that from WITHIN the editor?
- agumonkey 5y agothat's the whole issue, people mentioned borland c++ 3 being nicer than emacs, until you need to tweak it :)
- markus_zhang 5y agoAgreed, we need an editor that is as flexible as possible. From that perspective VSCode serves a pretty good middle ground. It's programmable (but in Typescript that I don't like) and has tons of plugins, but it also has nice GUIs and such.
