Of course. What I do (and most other productive programmers I know do) is use the window manager (gnome, kde, awesome...), xterms, a webbrowser, etc, to make a "LIDE": loosely integrated dev environment. I've led various large programming teams -- all the top-quality and top-productivity programmers had long since abandoned Eclipse and similar TIDEs (tightly integrated DE). I've used varios TIDEs over the last 10 years, Eclipse one of them. They have all been inferior to the gnome/emacs/xterms/gitk setup I use now. > world records on the c64 I started on the C64 too, and you'll find others on this list have similar and deeper chops than that. The point stands, however, TIDEs are not needed, and in many many cases not optimal. You may try to call them a valid stepping-stone in the learning, but you will need to bring some solid proof. BTW, when I program for the XO, I do it on an XO, with additional rpms (git, emacs...). My only "cheat" is that I use an external keyboard. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
