+1

I have to admit that as an IDE/editor, RDP/LPEX is much better than
SEU, but a far cry from Eclipse or Visual Studio.

Lack of refactoring and the requirement to manually refresh the
outline view to get the auto-complete to work are my biggest pet
peeves.

LPEX = "live parsing editor" so why do I have to manually refresh the
outline??? It knows I've just defined a new variable or procedure....

$870 does seem a bit high for what you get...

Personally, I wouldn't think twice about paying $50, or perhaps
$100....any more than that and the wife would have to ok it! ;)

As Lpex/RSE stands today, it's not worth more than $100 to me.  There's
no regular expression scan/replace (only the scan), no macro capability
and not a whisper of support for helping refactor RPG code.  All of
those omissions lower the value of Lpex to me personally.  SEP is the
bright spot in an otherwise average IDE.  Not fantastic, average.
