Topic: Anybody use lisplink?

[Kerry]

VLIDE in Autocad (95% of my coding is done in the IDE )
I test continuously as I go, and all my library stuff is already loaded ... pretty hard to beat.

UltraEdit when not in Acad

[LE]

text editor, vital lisp and now visual lisp... is all I have been using when writing lisp/dcl code

[ElpanovEvgeniy]

VLIDE in Autocad = 95%
Pencil, pen, paper = 4%
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe = 1%

I hate vlide.

TextPad with Michael's vlisp.syn (syntax) file works for me.

Strong word there Joe. Did you have a bad experience with VLIDE to "hate" it.

I use VLIDE 80% & UltraEdit with syntax highlighting 19% and maybe 1% paper & pen.
Just guesstimates on the percentages of course.

I don't like VLIDE's handling of text selection & editing. I use Textpad w/syntax highlighting and have a few macros for indenting. I only use VLIDE for reformatting code & debugging when I'm stuck.

My sense of vlide is it was designed by a programmer, rather than someone experienced with interface issues. A poor interface always turns me off, regardless of what the program can do.

I agree with Dan regarding debugging. I'll use it for that (error trace) when I can't figure out where I've gone wrong via some other method.
