Post #173,789 by Simon_Jester 9/12/04 2:28:09 PM Reply	But if they're using VIM and calling it VI then I would have to disagree. VIM has syntax checking (nice pretty colors to show you your errors). The only thing that an IDE has that VIM doesn't (for me), is a nice way to profile the code so that I could tell what sections of code were taking the longest.

Do you use an IDE? - (bluke) - (63) - Sept. 12, 2004, 09:02:40 AM EDT
