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. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
