Yes.
So it is a combination of laziness/lack of time to retool and learn a new program, and, a case of, well I've already thrown X amount of money down this hole so I'll just keep going, to stop now I'd have to admit I made a bad choice.
- dagw 13y agoMost pros I know will happily swap software if it will give them access to new features they need or will make them more efficient and productive. They won't switch just to save a few bucks. Even saving $10000 on hardware isn't enough to compensate for even a small drop in productivity.
- cscurmudgeon 13y agoYou think a Mac is a bad choice? You probably do very little dev. Of all the development environments I have seen so far, nothing beats the Mac. Even Emacs for Mac is light years better than plain old Emacs. http://aquamacs.org/ http://aquamacs.org/
- everyone 13y agoDeveloper is a very broad term. What kind of developer are you? I'm a games developer. Emacs is great but it is essentially a text editor. there are literally 1000's of similar things of varying complexity depending on your preferences available for linux and windows.
- cscurmudgeon 13y agoI develop a lot on Common Lisp. SLIME is Aquamacs beats any other so called IDEs and REPLs. If you think Emacs is just a text editor, you should come out of your shell (snicker, snicker).
