A good PHP IDE would present a GUI for editing the php.ini.
"A multiplicity of IDEs...isn't really the answer either, I think."
Why not? Just because all you have is a hammer, doesn't mean every problem is nail. Different programs for different tasks? Who'da thunk it?
- bediger4000 14y agoThere's a mental cost to each tool - small in the case of a hammer, a pliers, a screwdriver, a vicegrip, but much larger in the case of an IDE. IDEs with similar physical actions but different results have a much, much higher mental cost. Why do you suppose that "vim" people use "set -o vi" for bash command line editing? Also, where's your "intuitive excuse"? You know, the one where someone is familiar with Windows at home, so we'll make them use Windows at the office because we don't have to retrain them? That sort of thing is more proof that multiple IDEs aren't the answer.
- WayneDB 14y agoYou're saying "the answer" as if there's only one answer for every single developer out there. Perhaps you get taxed mentally when switching between IDEs...I certainly don't.
