Message: [QUOTE="Andrew Poelstra, post: 4007492"] I'm eighteen. I grew up on a Unix prompt and still program that way most of the time. (At work we use VS; it's a lot nicer than any text editor available for Windows, but on Linux I like vi.) And most programmer kids these days use Linux, and I'm sure many of them will agree with me. I don't think so. The first time I used an IDE, it was Visual C++ 6, and I was very thrown. I didn't understand why my output disappeared instantly, and didn't know how to run my code from a command line. Whereas with a text-based system, you just run one command gcc hello.c and progress to gcc main.c linkedlist.c readfile.c over the course of an intro course. [/QUOTE]
