Re: RDi vs SEU

I'm definitely NOT 5% more productive on the whole. There might be certain

The concept of programmer productivity, like code quality, is
notoriously difficult to express. Measuring it is... well, if someone
has a proggy-productivity-meter I don't know where to get it!

That said, I personally find that I think better with RDi open than I
do with SEU in front of me. I absolutely cannot quantify that with a
number, but I put my money where my mouth was when my boss asked me
for justification to spend the money. I told him that if my projects
were deployed slower OR had more bugs in the year after paying for RDi
then I would pay the company for my RDi seat out of my own pocket. I
didn't have to write a check, so there's that.
