in thread Eclipse IDE with add on EPIC; Errors on the code

I hadn't posted that one yet because it seemed that people here don't really use IDEs.

You're probably not claiming that vim is an IDE, but having myself used vim for many years and more recently using IntelliJ (with its vim plugin), the functionality gap between them seems too big to put them in the same category.

    In a sample of 1, 100% of me's use IDEs for every coding related thing I do. At $work I'm a firmware engineer and regularly use three variants of Eclipse provided by the manufacturers of the three main processors I work with. I use Visual Studio for C++ development on our flagship application, and I use Visual Code for a few miscellaneous processors and Arduino development. In choosing a processor for a project lack of a competent IDE and debug probe for a specific device is automatic disqualification.

    For Perl and Python development I use Komodo or, sometimes, Visual Code for Python (especially on Pi). I've also used Visual Code for Java development.

    In fact of the 30 or so developers at $work, 100% use IDEs. I live in the hope that FOMO will drive more of the IDE nay sayers to give an appropriate IDE a go, but I guess demographics is the thing that will do the job in the end.

    Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
