    VIM, C++, Coffee!?

    It don't show what is good on linux, it just show what the wannabies think is good. Come on... C++!

      Gimp has been made in C and it is a large project. Gimp is popular and quite good. Does it mean that the C programming language is good for large and complicated projects?

      Don't forget that C and C++ are dangerous languages that are prone to hard to find errors and dangerous errors. C and C++ are picked by newbies because it is popular.

    Yup, there are plenty of people using KDE and Evolution. Perhaps the upcoming release of KDE 3.2 along with Kontact will change that for some people. However, other people, like myself, will probably stick with Evolution for the following features:

    1. Exchange 2000 support
    2. Client side IMAP filtering

    But.. I'd probably switch to using kmail/kontact partially if it had HTML editing =)

  3. Why not postgresql? by nbdy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most of time people select mysql. But postgresql is much more advance regarding to features, and not bad performance too....
