Good editor support is definitely a productivity booster. However, the OP's point is something I agree with. Too many people come out these days whose experience in 'enterprise application development' is to click on a few "Next>" buttons on a wizard and then cut/paste some code. These people are slaves to their IDEs rather than efficient users of a tool. That is something which I don't really admire. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
