RE: [DotGNU]General Coding Enquiry

[Socrates]

Actually, it's like any environment in that if you don't take the
time/patience to learn it properly, of course you won't be very productive.
I can develop in VS as fast as I can in vim on any single file - but when it
comes to managing >100 projects with 1000's of files, VS comes into its own
imho.

That being said, the amount of un-bloody-believably annoying bugs in VS
would wake me not miss it one little bit when I leave my current work!

PS - I can only speak for the latest VS (.NET) as well.

PPS - Sorry for bringing a propietry software discussion into here :)  I
feel dirty.

Interesting case study: my ex-girlfriend sold out to Microsoft and now
works there as a tester.  She's by no means a free-software person at
all, but nonetheless finds the VS interface retarded and unintuitive
and uses Emacs instead....  :-)
