I started with C64 Basic and then GW-Basic, so /any/ IDE is better than editing via line numbers.

  LOL, did anyone else ever make programs in TI BASIC on a TI calculator?

    I did. So I could slyly cheat on high school chemistry & physics exams :-) I wrote little programs to work problems for me and print all the "show your work" bits. I did it all on the device itself, since I didn't have the right cable or whatever to copy things onto it.

      And why not? It's not even cheating in my book - if I can understand the process well enough to write a program for it, then I shouldn't have to do tedious and repetitive work. One time, the teacher was giving out a piece of candy for every Pythagorean triple that we could name. A little brute-force program written in a couple of minutes had me with a small handful, and eventually a ban from participating :)
