It's miles ahead of WP 5.1.

If he loves notepad that much he can always use Notepad++.

Welcome to the Future or atleast, the present.

My GF's workplace are retard. They have tools that are IE6 only but now everyone has a Win 7 computer. Win 7 doesn't support IE6. What do they do? Update the tools? No that's too easy.

They created a program that access a virtual XP machine that runs IE6 & the tools.

IE6/7 is nothing.

All our courthouse records are available online - but in a positively ancient CLI-only program.  It's like using WordPerfect 5.1 - you have to remember all these arcane function commands.

Sigh - I just realized you probably never used WP 5.1.
My workplace still uses IBM mainframe. :yeah:

I don't really have all that much need for a word processor, but I'll keep that in mind when I do.

ah, Wordperfect, you piece of crap.
it's still the best word processor out there.

Mainframes have their niche where it makes sense to run them. Not so IE7.

Pity it doesn't have settings for Erlang coding though. My options on that front are reduced to Emacs (yikes!) or Eclipse.

I haven't tried that one.

Other than highlighting and compiling the thing that I find most interesting on an IDE is having function call auto-completion, and especially hovering over a call and seeing its interface/documentation. Comes quite handy now that my main project is a year old and has grown quite a bit.

Agreed about IE7, that's just ridiculous.  My workplace uses IE6.  :)
