haha. Yes limited experience :D

Heck, I've been using Zend Studio for some web stuff lately and it feels
way better than LPEX. But like you said, work in progress.

LOL Bryce

Again, you didn't grow up with SEU. If you are using I to insert every
line - which you did not say directly - then you aren't using SEU as it
can be used. Just put an I on the sequence number where you want to
start, enter code or a space to keep the line intact, and it will open
up the next line for you to type into - just like hitting enter in WDSC.
Hey, man, they didn't design WDSC in a vacuum - SEU was in their minds -
you can use SEU line commands in WDSC, too.

And if you start typing a command and hit F4, you get all the formatting
you want. AND it gives you that extra line, just as it does as I
described above.

I am not saying it's better, it's just not as bad as your experience has
been. But there is not enough reason for you to investigate, and I
understand that. No problem here with that. I just feel a need to
confront opinions based on admittedly-limited experience.

Carry on with WDSC! It's a fine IDE. As good as Visual Studio? Not yet,
IMO. But they keep working at it.

And I wouldn't use vi for much of anything!! Although I do use TextPad
for editing ASP code, albeit with syntax files and the like. It's not
bad!!

Vern

how many columns wide you are and the editor will reformat the code to

inside the proper width. And I can hit the Enter button to get a new
line, I don't have to go enter some special command with an I and space
and then enter and all that junk. It doesn't matter what you are
editing
in my mind, its the fact that editing anything in WDSC is more natural
to
what you use everywhere else including word documents.

Its like linux people who use vi because "its way better"... I used vi
exclusively for C++ when I was in college.... ITS NOT BETTER THAN A GUI
IDE! haha. feels good to get that out :D

RE: Change management systems






Seriously?

I hated editing CL in SEU and actually don't mind it in WDSCi. Although

70 lines at a time and color-coding goes a long ways for me. I even use

the outline by setting up tags by section (that I never use GOTO on).

While WDSC / RDi / RDp are very good tools, there are still things that
PDM is much better at ... editing CL, for instance.

The GUI editors are slow as molasses when it comes to editing CL, but
PDM
is super fast.
