[Kevin Ryan]

If their 'EDE' is anything like Jbed's, it is gimmicky garbage.  I 
believe
we should keep our version management and other developement tools
as consistent as possible accross all of our subsystems.  When you start
getting into these propriatory 'IDE's, we will have to have a different 
one
for each of Rich's, Bruce's, Tom's and my areas of software development.
This could be disasterous for code sharing.

I've never met an IDE that I liked, they do things differently according
to the whims of their designers, they can be buggy, fragile and get to be
very frustrating when you spend too much time troubleshooting their fancy
compiler launcher and not enough on your own code.

I ended up using only the barest minimum of Jbed's IDE and did the rest
using the standard Unix development tools which we are all familiar with
and which work.

My $.02
