Thanks a bunch! The "transitioning" problem is a real bummer right now, but I'm optimistic that we'll see a lot of things start to change in the next few years as some of the newer IDE projects become more mature. Regarding IDEs: I agree that we need better tools for Java and C. I think the key to solving this problem is making IDEs that developers can easily extend to meet their own visualizing needs. This is why I'm really excited about the Light Table project: It may not have a ton of features right now, but it gives you the ability to write powerful plugins to cover use cases the IDE developer hadn't thought of.
