Terminal? You have heard of this really cool thing called windowing
software? ;^)
I completely utterly fail to understand why some young developers attach
some sort of romance to writing code on an 80x25 screen, when all the
haxxors my age or older waited (or slaved away) for years, even
decades, to get something better and more flexible.
I've seen vim, emacs/xemacs, and kdevelop all mentioned in this thread.
I'd just like to point out that the first three have great advantages
under X and the last runs exclusively on X (at least on UNIX it does).
X is for programmers, too. Try it, you'll like it. You might even
find a use for that mouse.
