    This new version of Visual Studio, is not going to be as easy for people to pick up and understand. Something that allows people of my age to learn to code. Do they want programs coded for windows? or do they want people to only produce apps for Apple software (and if we're very lucky for linux acceptance and development!!!!) There is a demand for developers so why are microsoft driving them away... :mad: :mad: :mad: Are they fools!!! :mad::mad::mad:

              First of all, as far as I know, Visual Studio is considered the single best tool for programming out there. It is one of the main reasons that Windows has been as successful as it has. I do not think that Windows is that well done. There are two great products that Microsoft sells: Visual Studio (along with C#), and SQL-Server. Windows is a very sad product that needs a major makeover. Second, what it shit about Apple. Apple programming environment is probably the worst. Apple is somewhat good at innovation, and supurbly good at marketing. You would think that Apple invented the GUI, but thier GUI was stolen from Xerox.

                  So I guess you do not agree. First of all Notepad sucks, it only got updated (many years ago) to allow it to open very large files. Would really be nice if Microsoft updated Notepad and Calculator because improvements in both would be very easy. Does this mean that you do like any Microsoft products?

                    Ohhh, I don't know! I've seen FAR worse then XCode. XCode isn't the best IDE in the world, but it is free, after all.

                      Whoa there, I was just making a joke that the only reason Notepad didn't qualify for your list is because it isn't is free. Indeed, Notepad is pretty crappy. It has numerous bugs and chugs when word wrap is enabled for large files. Pretty sad for one of the most simple programs one can imagine. I do think Visual Studio and SQL Server are awesome. I also think many of the Microsoft Office products are awesome (though I use OpenOffice all the same).

                            The Notepad++ developers will start an anti-trust case if MS were to update Notepad and include it bundled with Windows... ;P

                              I don't understand this anti-trust crap. If you make an operating system, why aren't you allowed to include some free stuff like browsers with it? The people who file such suits should instead concentrate on creating better products that people would not mind paying for.

                                FTFY Have you ever tried Eclipse with JDT for Java? or the Ruby plugin for it? Now there is a tool with a bunch of refactors for free. Unlike in VS where you need plugins that cost. Have you ever taken for a test run the local source control repository, in Eclipse, in conjunction with any other repository? Life saver! Why isn't there one for VS? Why is that feature so hard to make? However a memory hogging IDE is what MS can do best! Have you ever browsed the vast amount of plugins Eclipse has? Pity they don't have a decent C# plugin. I would've abandoned this overpriced VS without a second thought. No Sharpdevelop is not better it hogs memory and is slooooooooooooow.

                                  [These days it is quite risky to say that some software does not exist.] I suggest you check out AnkhSvn. Plugs into the workspace like a dream. It is awesome, and free. You may compare VS to other C++ IDEs. Eclipse does have some nice code-formatting features that do beat VS. But when it comes to debugging C++, nothing comes within miles of VS. Comparing it to Ruby tools is not very relevant.

                                    I am using it. It crashes on a daily basis. In fact it crashed 5 minutes ago and I lost code because of its crashes.

                                      Crashing? That is odd. I have used it daily for a year. Not one crash, that I can recall.

                                        Whoa there, I was just making a joke that the only reason Notepad didn't qualify for your list is because it isn't is free. Indeed, Notepad is pretty crappy. It has numerous bugs and chugs when word wrap is enabled for large files. Pretty sad for one of the most simple programs one can imagine. I do think Visual Studio and SQL Server are awesome. I also think many of the Microsoft Office products are awesome (though I use OpenOffice all the same).

                                        I am impressed with what the office products can do. I am less impressed with the user interface, which should make access better. They did do a lot of rewritting a lot of the office products to store in XML, which is a great idea. I resent the fact that they were never able to fix VBA so that you either have to disable, or accept the risk. I would think that it would be possible to give vba levels of access.

                                          The Notepad++ developers will start an anti-trust case if MS were to update Notepad and include it bundled with Windows... ;P

                                          Have issues with Notepad++, otherwise I would use it. Its user interface is not very intuative. Maybe it is better now.
