A nice editor is good, but I know how awesome an IDE can be, and that's the route for me. Eclipse starts up plenty fast, considering I pretty much leave it running for days or weeks at a time. And I *love* things like Mylyn-- the tools Eclipse offers just blow everything else out of the water, IMHO. Data tools, XML tools (with autocomplet, etc.), Bash Script editors (editors for just about anything you can think of, really). Then there's the testing tools... MXUnit -- of course! -- and if you're hard-core, TPTP for load testing and whatnot. Plus, I'm trying to make CFEclipse much more extensible, so pulling in dictionaries/updates for things like FarCry is easier, etc.. And I can't wait till I've got something together for colddoc -- javadoc works freaking *awesome* for the java stuff (you can require comments on things, get warnings about missing parameter documentation, etc..). -- it's all coming together, amazingly. I understand liking an editor -- I was that way too, once -- but now I just can't go back. But everyone's needs are different, to a certain extent, so I don't hate on anything. Whatever gets you from point A to point B in a manner you're happy with, ja know? :Den -- The Law is but words and paper without the hands of swords of men.
