Sure, if you are content with the way the compiler lays out the information. Personally, I am far more efficient with vim and a CLI than Visual Studio/Eclipse/$FancyIDE precisely because I can live in my head and not in the IDE.
The day we can replace the mental process required to fully understand a problem is the day we can put down our keyboards and let the computers do all the programming for us. Until then I assert that you will not produce the same quality of code without doing the hard work in your own head.
- tluyben2 13y agoI'm looking forward to that day anyway. And I agree to some extend with you as you say 'doing the hard work in your head', I just don't think all the hard work should be done there. Just the hardest work computers cannot do for you. I work with vim only because I don't think IDE's contribute much at the moment. I believe they should be able to contribute a lot more. I'm just not sure how that is supposed to look, but luckily smarter people than me are working on that :)
