Editors versus IDEs
Over at the Hacking the Grepson podcast, Mike and Matt discuss text editors versus IDEs. The podcast was at once informative and annoying. On the one hand, they discuss the difference between a text editor and an IDE. If you’re … Continue reading
An Emacs User Looks at Acme
I’ve written before about the Acme editor. The first time it was about Russ Cox’s video tour of Acme. The second was Vince Foley’s take on Acme as an Emacs user. Those were almost 10 years ago so perhaps it’s … Continue reading
