The problem is that nobody writes code like that (char by char, like prose). You often jump back and forth between statements and parens, and code from inside out.

- spc476 13y agoI write code like that. I tend to have a good idea of what the code should be doing, and write it out, char by char, like prose. I also avoid IDEs and prefer text editors. In the twenty-five years of programming, I've not found an IDE I like, and I suspect I'm a langauge-maven than a tool-maven (http://osteele.com/posts/2004/11/ides http://osteele.com/posts/2004/11/ides) (as long as I can type, I can try out a new language; I don't have to wait for a specific IDE to come along first). Edit: add a link about language-mavens vs. tool-mavens.
