I finally had some time to look properly: I would say I am excited about this development. This is most certainly the way industry is going. It has been in the works for at least 5 years. (Of course I was declared crazy at the time when I vented this opinion in front of my boss) Big names like Air

Hi all, I know you linux purists will scream, but I prefer ActiveState komodo(free) and IDE(paid) with the MoreKomodo-add-on http://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide?gclid=CPToxvWNiq8CFUUZQgodyCP8Rg Same feel for both Windows and linux, great grepping, only drawback is it slow on the 1st fireup of

You also did find the "read the emacs manual" thingy I take it. Fore code browsing I use a thing called cscope, which integrates reasonably well in emacs. But perhaps Michael has a better idea? . . . j. On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 4:37 PM, Saccilotto Fabian wrote: > Hi Jan, > > ** ** > > al

Fabian, Welcome. On emacs: install it run it go to Help and open the tutorial. My wife prefers it any time over *?*-office, although it seems a bit heavy at first when you start out. What linux distribution do you use? Happy hacking j. On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 1:23 PM, Saccilotto Fabian wrote

Hi Fabio, since I dabbled with Eclipse for a while, and switched back to using Emacs: I found Eclipse not worth the effort and overhead except for a few rare cases, which are: - the Python debug plugin by Aptana is great - refactoring support for some basic tasks, like renaming global variables,
