What need does he have for an IDE without all those buttons and knobs?
- bmj 17y agoIf you're doing .NET development, VS is still pretty useful without all the knobs and buttons. That said, are there any "out of the box" solutions for using a simple text editor along with some sort of build tool for working with VS projects? I realize I could write my own build scripts, but I was wondering if there are any tools available.
- altano 17y agoI use Visual Studio all day every day as nothing but a text editor (for the most part). It has the best find/replace I've seen in a text editor. jEdit has better functionality, such as PCRE find/replace with good backreference support, but it's too complex for day to day use and the rest of the thing sucks. It's also extremely customizable. When you're doing C++ development on a large project and no IDE is really going to cut it in terms of Intellisense and build tools, find/replace becomes a ton more important. shrug
