Who doesn't use an IDE? I've known developers who used only VIM back in the day. I don't know of any dev that doesn't use one, nowadays.

- bitwize 4y agoDo they use a debugger as a tool of first resort? Do they step through their code line by line? One of Carmack's points was that gdb's terrible interface has made debuggers a tool of last resort in the Linux/open source world, when they should be a tool of first resort, and code should be stepped through even before it's run normally because that's how you get a clear picture of how it runs. Visual Studio's excellent debugger integration alone has made the open source development experience truly "stone knives and bearskins" by comparison until relatively recently.

- NGRhodes 4y agoMaybe it stems from Linux Torvald's hate of debuggers ? https://lkml.org/lkml/2000/9/6/65 https://lkml.org/lkml/2000/9/6/65
