I'm dissing on the C# environment, and the fact that microsoft chose to
reinvent the IDE wheel rather than build it on something prexisting.
it's a testament to microsoft's marketing power that programmers are
actually willing to put up with completely tossing visual studio 6 with
something much less stable and much more immature. maybe this has
changed with visual studio 2005, but if I were being pushed to, say,
replace my editor every couple years, that would really put a dent in my
productivity.
wrestling with development tools unnecessarily is a waste of development
time. that is a tautology but I'm amazed how much time many programmers
(myself included) spend rationalizing toolchain upgrades.
I hate toolchains. I think the last good experience I had with one was
turbo pascal, but that may just be nostalgia. I guess I could download
a copy and find out: http://dn.codegear.com/article/20803 .
