Amazing. The lesson for me (which has echoes of the 'hammock driven design' message) is that sometimes the best ideas come not from evolutions of existing answers but starting completely from scratch. As techies, we sometimes (I think) restrict ourselves to improving our existing solutions which in effect restrict our solution space to our own (sometimes inferior) answers. For example, I doubt any of his answers came as an improvement to existing IDEs - they are new creations.
Hmm - not sure I made that clear - I learnt a lesson anyway. Excellent points and I certainly found the video inspiring. Good link!
