I never challenged text navigation and editing as something IDEs do easier. I challenged that they will make you more productive. Again, I see this as the same as saying a word processor will make you a more productive writer than building a vocabulary and typing skills yourself. Will it make it easier to find mistakes? Certainly, but by itself I can not claim it is enough to make you more productive. (Indeed, with most word processors, it simply shifts the mistakes you would have made.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
