(You think I'm _that_ easily offended?!) I'm just enjoying the war stories, and trying to guess how old everyone is. When I start worrying about the long list of things I have yet to learn, it's comforting to know that most of you have at least a few years' head start. ;) I'm enjoying IDEA (though sometimes it's so intutitive it's scary... and occasionally it's just plain embarrassing when it points out something I should have known better than to do in the first place.) But I still use jEdit more than anything else. So far I haven't seen an IDE that matches jEdit's HyperSearch (IDEA only wants to search source code) or that uses BeanShell for macros. There are times when I like the suggestions and the ability to jump from usage to interface to implementation with a few keystrokes... and other times when I just want to be left alone. With both jEdit and IDEA set to auto-reload changed files, I go back and forth depending on my mood. I also don't ever want to be in a situation where I can't edit with vi, construct a classpath and compile code at the command line if I _really_ have to. For a reality check, I go back to comp.lang.java and see if I can answer any questions. :) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
