Unix (tm) was developed by programmers. In a sense Unix -- and Linux & BSD -- are IDEs! How many Windows (tm) developers use something like MKS or UWIN? There are alot of really useful tools with Unix and others that facilitate software development: Gotta search through an executable's symbols? Make an editing change in a raft of files? I could go on, but Unix-like systems seem to come with alot of useful tools; so much of software development is text processing -- no way around it.
Once upon a time, Intel realized the x86 was a dead-end architecture and introduced the "432." That flopped, so we got the 286, 386,... . What will happen if Itanium flops like the 432? Will we get the Icantium?
