What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment?

nachmore asks: "I've been programming on Linux for a while now, always content to use vi for my editing and any debugger tools out there (gdb for C/C++, and so forth). As part of my SoC project I was working on Thunderbird (my first huge project on Linux) and I found that , although shell-based tools can do the job, they lack in easy project management, ease of debugging and other development features. I've only ever programmed with a GUI on Windows — and I have to admit that I find Dev Studio to be one of the few programs that Microsoft seems to have gotten (nearly) right. I've played around with Eclipse but find it's C/C++ support still lacking. So what GUIs would you recommend for Linux? I would like something with debugging (single step, step through, step-to-end, etc) support, CVS access and of course, support for large projects (e.g. Mozilla) and especially good support for C/C++. Is there anything really good out there, or is vi the way to go?"

    Many problems with this:

    1)Most religions are not hierarchial. You managed to pick the only one that is. Other than rabbi, there's no higher up to go in Judaism. Same for Islam and Imams. Same for Buddhism. Same for many Christian sects.

    2)Not all religious leaders really believe. Historically, religion has been a path to power, especially for younger sons of nobility. In the middle ages, popes were appointed for political reasons to please the most powerful king, not because they were faithful. I'd say the vast majority of high religious offices are not held by the most faithful, but by the most power hungry even today. The truely faithful would be too busy praying to play political games needed to move up a hierarchy.

    3)Cult leaders frequently do believe. Some are utter frauds, but many devoutly believe in what they say.

    So nope, still no difference other than number of followers.
