- venomsnake 14y agoDisclaimer: Every is defined as not including a lot of developers on Microsoft platforms, web developers, Java Enterprise developers etc ...
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoParent did qualify that with "every developer I know." We tend to live in bubbles and don't see the big picture. Like "everyone I know programs in C++" is definitely true in some circles. How many of us use x-terminals these days? I was referring to the hardware, not the emulation program. Perhaps parent lives in a world where they have a bunch of surplus DEC or HP X terminals and haven't moved on to PCs yet. Or perhaps parent just misunderstood my comment.
- Derbasti 14y agoMaybe I did. Sorry about that. I meant terminal emulators available in most modern GUIs.

- Derbasti 14y agoThe Devs I know are predominantly on Windows, but they still use terminals. Some use CMD terminals on Windows, some use Putty on some remote Linux box. Some use Cygwin. And then there are a few Linux/OSX people who mostly use the graphical terminals native to their platform.
- drharris 14y agoI use terminals, but not dumb terminals. I use terminal emulators on a modern OS on which I am able to install any editor I want. I have emacs/vim installed, but I use them maybe once every few months. There are better editors for what I do.
