    Fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency.... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

  6. Obligatory... on Ask Slashdot: A Development Environment Still Usable In 25 Years Time? · · Score: 1

    Emacs isn't an IDE. It's an OS. The only thing it lacks is a decent text editor...

    I'd go with the Argument Clinic, and the Bridge of Death, myself...
