Dear Authors of Eclipse,
Thank you. My early experiences with IDEs were... unpleasant. Vince's fear that Pascal Genie was a DoD weapons project was far off the mark, but I do grant that Genie did induce violence. And I've logged a few hours documenting half-baked IDEs. I've seen the sausage in the making. I have few hopes.
Today when I pasted a for loop with an index i into a different for loop, also with an index i, Eclipse very politely let me know
perhaps this was not going to end well.
There's a good half an hour of teeth gnashing avoided. It is so nice to have tools that Don't Suck.
Sometimes little things count a lot. From 0 to i. And j.
(Anyone reading this who isn't friended? Lemme know.)
