An IDE can do anything a text editor can do that's for sure.
It's maybe a minor quibble, but I would disagree with that. Go check the feature set of UltraEdit and find an IDE that has all those features. I've never seen an IDE with column mode for instance.
Like I said, kind of a minor point because indeed modern IDEs probably do have *most* of the capabilities of a good text editor, but I wouldn't say all. :)
There are certainly cases where an IDE can make you much more productive. Sometimes its no better then a text editor but its *never* worse.
I would disagree... for me it *is* sometimes, many times actually, worse. But, <refrain>whatever works for you</refrain> :) Frank --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
