I have. And perl and Tcl/Tk and grep and a few other tools for grown ups. Alas, at least at our shop, these are buggy ghosts of their real self. There is always a way to make them work, but there are features within them that do not work. Curiously, Tcl on M$ is the best of breed. But I'm the only one using it. [It always amuses me when a M$ zealot contends "we're a M$ shop and we don't use open source!" If you took perl and Python away from us, Development, SCM, and V&V would be paralized. I'm sooooo glad M$ invented those languages!] >> I think certain personality types are more comfortable with M$ percisely >> because they have the luxury of not having to make choices. > > That's kind of strange, since I know virtually nothing except X window > managers that hasn't been ported to Windows. :-) > That's for those of us who use windoze at gunpoint. I'm talking about the subset who wonder why we would do that. I have example people in mind, and if you like, I can ship them to you (please don't feel obliged to return them). -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
