On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being very important and 1 being not
important at all, how would you rate the importance of having RDi
running on Linux?
1 but only because the rules say I can't say zero. I use WDSC at work
which is Windows XP SP2 only, with the carefully vetted exception of
some Macs for the artistic types.
[I edited out my raging against Rational's decision to dis-integrate
i/OS development software.]
I can tell you I will absolutely not be paying $800US for the privilege
of editing RPG code at home (Windows XP SP3.) WDSC is not $800US nicer
than Code/400, and RDi has fewer features than WDSC.
For hobby programming of non-web apps, RDi seems rather much. I gave
Eclipse a try at home for Python, Java, C and some PIC development, but
it's quite a large footprint and for the most part codeedit.exe does
virtually everything I need. If I ever get to the point where I run my
own web server (unlikely) I might look at Eclipse harder, but I won't be
paying the retail price (what, $1995US?) for RDi-SOA for what is
essentially hobby work.
