QUOTE FROM SITE:Just a simple little tool I'm using to relay a message to those of you who may be or feel like I was and did. God has a purpose for your life....and it's Awesome. I found part of my purpose in life, and God continues to provide me with everything I need to do it. My purpose (at least one) is using the arts (movies, music, all forms of multimedia entertainment) to spread the truth and to do so in a form that is entertaining for EVERYONE....Not just the truth about Jesus Christ, but also the truth about love and life and laughter.
I'm sure I'm not going to receive unkind moderation for bringing this up, but I thought it was interesting... Anyone else notice this quote in the BIO section, and the section in the FAQ about "How to become a Christian and receive eternal life"?
A collection of remade video game music seems like an awfully strange way to "share the gospel" as he says.
I was of the same opinion as you until just recently when I started using VA Java full time...
Although a plain ol' text editor *may* be better for learning a language as you mentioned, once you're familiar with it a good IDE can really speed up development, and cut down on a number of plain old stupid errors as you're coding. This is especially true if versioning and checkin/checkout type tools are built in.
Besides, IMHO there are some things which are *much* nicer in an IDE than at the CLI, such as debugging (especially things like UI debugging).
But hey, to each their own, go with what works best for you!
