A "great many" implies no more than an indefinite but significant
number, and certainly not a majority. This is the second time I've been
challenged on an argument which I did not make. This denotes a very
serious communications problem which I find to be all too common among
opensource developers.
I'm not sure I fit the "hardcore technical" profile either, but if SDCC
developers consider themselves hardcore technical, then I fail to see
how you justify slack documentation of the product. Contradictions of
this nature are indicative of underlying problems which need to be
addressed. I'm a self made engineer (no degrees) of general aviation
aircraft DC electrical system components with 28 years experience in the
field. All hardware and software for these devices must meet DO160 and
DO178 reliability specifications. So far my microcontroller designs
apply to ground based applications, but if I wanted to do an airborne
design, I can't imagine conforming it to DO178 without complete
documentation on the compiler I use.
Anyway, I don't have time for this banter. I'm ready to lay down $1500
for the HI-TECH C Pro compiler for the Cypress PSoC Mixed-Signal Array
devices which are very well suited to my needs. Cypress has some
excellent development software, and its free of all things and
professionally written and very well documented to boot.

In my experience, I'd not call it a majority by any stretch. None
of the "hardcore technical" people I know would never allow
themselves to be chained to an IDE.
