I kinda like to see an IDE myself. I know emacs is powerfull
(I've got xemacs on my sys and am still experimenting with it),
but its still an editor with a *lot* of fancy features. If emacs
could do what those of us who are familar with IDE's in the
DOS/Win world, then we wouldn't need DDD for example. If you can
merge DDD capability into emacs *then* I'd use it. In the
meantime, I've got my fingers crossed for the gIDE project. No
offense intended against emacs lovers.
