My Favourite coding environment:
On a tropical beach under a parasol / coconut-less palm, preferably in a
deckchair or similar comfortable reclining chair with a flatscreen
display on a swan neck.
Located close enough to the beach bar for the bar-person to bring me
coffee in the morning, fruit juice in the afternoon and a Mai Tai or a
Cosmopolitan as the sun passes the yardarm.
Breaks between programming would include sailing, snorkelling, surfing
and beach volleyball.
My personal assistant would deal with all the client crap.
Does not matter where the beach is, as long as it's not too busy with
tourists.
Sorry, have heard this debate to many times for it to be interesting
anymore, so I thought I would freshen it up. :)

what's your favourite coding environment?
I really like FlashDevelop but because I'm on a mac, I've been
looking into other options (although FD with parallels is a pretty
good setup). I've found eclipse and FDT to be shaky at best - the AS2
libraries are incomplete (the mx lib has to be added to the default
setup, for instance) and it seems to be a little unstable (if it
doesn't crash entirely once in a while, it seems to get slower over
time - maybe there's a memory leak somewhere?) and FDT costs an
astronomical amount for something that is supposed to go alongside
the Flash IDE when doing AS2 (which seems to be still the most widely
used version of Actionscript outside of full-on microsite design) as
it doesn't have it's own AS2 compiler.
I've seen that coda has started supporting AS code hinting but
without real OOP class support, it really only is a curio at the moment.
what do you guys think?
thanks
allandt
