Yeah, I am in the too-wimpy, too-stingy camp as well. I've got a
Pentium 4 with 1.5 GB of RAM on my desk at work. My boss wants me to
use some other Eclipse-based software (not an IDE, actually a data
integration product), and it took, I kid you not, half an hour for it
to start up the first time. It still takes many minutes. (It doesn't
help that my puny HD is nearly full and that our company-enforced
antivirus software is particularly intrusive.)
If I had an IDE that I could do *everything* in, that I could leave on
all the time and use nothing but it, then *maybe* it would be
manageable. (For old-time Unix programmers, Emacs often fit this
bill.) But I also have to have Outlook and Excel open most of the
time, plus a slew of other smaller PC software.
