Re: Resistance to using RDi

Seriously Buck?

Where’s the outline view in SEU?

Where’s the direct access to the manual?

Where’s the 30+ lines viewable at a time?

And on and on …

There are people unwilling to try and learn RDi - that I’ll give you. But if RDi can't sell itself as superior the flaw does not lie with RDi.

Even the speed of loading the source is a tie on a decent system. For example at the client where I am working this week a source loads into RDi pretty much as quickly as it would have become available in SEU. And the laptop being used is not that fast.

RDi has never been able to sell itself as being superior to SEU. Which
is why this thread (which I'm sorry I made morose) exists - we are
talking about /forcing programmers/ to use RDi because they otherwise won't.
