So? What does that have to do with the original topic - whether an IDE
is better than a text editor or not?

But to respond to your comment. HTML help is fine - but do you have a
search engine which can search all the web pages? I know there are some
out there - but the free ones which will run on an intranet aren't that
great a quality, while the good quality ones are expensive.

Yes, there are some Unix projects out there. And there are developers
who use Unix. I use Unix, also. But virtually all of my development is
done on Windows with a NFS mount from the Linux machine. It's then an
easy job to make the project. And although I don't do much Unix
programming, I don't think I've seen ANY projects which don't have
Windows on the majority of the desktops.

But I'm sure there are some - and the Windows help files don't work
there. But they work for every project in which I've been involved.
