No CodeWarrior Professional for Linux

[Benedikt Stefansson]

Metrowerks has announced that it will probably not port
CodeWarrior Professional to Linux - the company had earlier
planned to release the full suite on the platform in Q4
1999. In Q1 1999 Metrowerks released a version of CW which
uses gcc/egcs as the compiler and does not include the
popular C/C++ APIs that come with CW on MacOS/Win/NT nor the
Java compiler.

I thought I'd take the liberty of sharing snippets of an
exchange about this matter that took place on
www.slashdot.org today, since it is reminiscent of debates
that surface once in a while on this list - i.e. with
respect to whether 'real men use IDEs'.

Basically it has little to do with Swarm, I just thought it
was funny.

Those Bastards! They killed Codewarrior...

Seriously though, this is a bummer. Although i'm not a
particularly big fan of the codewarrior interface, i think
that the more choices for development

Emacs and an xterm is all you need.

vi and screen -r is all you need.

Punch cards are all you need...

A hex pad is all you need.

If you can't do cat > /vmlinuz then you are not worthy to be
a programmer.

             let me correct you. It should be:

             Emacs is all you need.

All you need is a soldering iron and a handful of
transistors.
