in reply to Slow evolution of Perl = Perl is a closed Word

Thinking about IDE devotees ... they would be termed "IDEots", n'est-ce-pas ?

Cheers,
Rob
Update: Whoo ... "Reputation: -3" ... I guess, by my reasoning, that means there's at least three "IDEots" perusing this thread.

    The downvotes are probably for misspelling "n'est-ce pas". ;-)

    It's a known fact that not a single competent, experienced, skilled programmer in the world uses an IDE, nor has used one at any point in his or her career.

    <borat>NOT!</borat>

    I agree it's a personal preference. For me, if I'm working on a project with 30 different source files, I really like being able to move to the one I want to look at next with a single click and run a build with a single keypress. If that makes me an idiot, I guess I'm an idiot.

    Update: Apparently I am thick and can't recognize a joke. In my defense, though, I have seen the "IDEs are stupid as is anyone who uses them" theme pop up here from time to time.

      It's spelled "IDEot", you idiot.

      I disagree with ChemBoy. I'm sure there are at least two reasons one would downvote syphilis:

      1. One is an "IDEot" and is offended
      2. One is an idiot and didn't "get" the joke

      Though, the most likely reason is probably that one didn't appreciate the joke, as I'm sure some won't appreciate mine either.

    I agree—I'm sure that everybody who has downvoted this post has done so out of defensive personal pique. No other reason seems possible.
