But I've always: a) felt overwhelmed and lost (like in "this is way too complex"); b) felt deprived of valuable screen real-state (it might be personal thing, because on my .emacs I turn off the toolbar and menu bar); c) eventually felt that time reading the Eclipse tutorial and docs would be better spent reading more of the Emacs manual. I guess, though, that this is very personal, and that I might be missing the point of Eclipse (and I don't do any Java programming). -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Statistical Computing Team Structural Biology and Biocomputing Programme Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO) http://ligarto.org/rdiaz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
