Re: Mac OS X question

Maybe I'm too old school but vim supports folding (and I'm sure emacs does too) and perl's built in debugger does a fine job? All of these can easily be run within OS X terminal window.

As a *Nix user, OS X is like buying a new pair of Levi's - sure they're still a bit too blue and stiff but once you've washed them a few times they feel great. But then again, Window's always felt like that new Easter suit my mom used to buy for me when I was a kid -- you know the one that came with a jacket, two pairs of slacks and a reversible vest. It looked nice but damn was it uncomfortable and wearing wool (at least in mid-atlantic US) during the spring was not fun.

As a Nix user, OS X is like buying a new pair of Levi's ...* I use all three (*nix, OSX, Windows) and I think thats the best description I've heard yet :-) "Ex libris un peut de tout"	[reply]

Well, I honestly never used the debugger until I had the graphical interface to it in Komodo - so while there are obviously other ways to do it - like I said, I'm spoiled and like the graphical access to it (click on something and type which specific variable you want to watch and whatnot). When I was in college I loved the hard way around things, now that I'm actually making money off of things that I do and they are more than just fun projects, I'm really only concerned about what is the easiest way to get it done. I have long been anti-Mac for a variety of reasons - but there are many changes in Windows and Mac that are pushing me away from Win and towards Mac. Of course, I'm also contemplating just running Linux, but if I am going to try a Mac, this is as good a time as any. After looking around, I saw that there is a Carbonized version of Vim - so I will give that a shot if I go the Mac route - thanks for the tip. ------------------------------------------------------------------- There are some odd things afoot now, in the Villa Straylight.
