Hi Lorenzo Bettini, Thank you for your opinion. "My personal opinion is whats the point." To answer this question, I would like to use a sentence from your own reply with some hacking ;P >From sentence --- "I used to use netbeans for java, because to do java you spend most of your time looking up and api rather than coding." My arguement can be built as: The point of using IDEs is, in any developing process, it can help you to [verbs like look up] [nouns like API]. verbs: become familiar, verbose, organise, ... nouns: syntax, conventions, structures, ... Any tool comes with benefits and drawbacks, it is the person who takes the risk. Come back to my question: If I want to work on the GNU Hello project, which can be downloaded at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.4.tar.gz, what IDEs can I use to import the project and export it as deployable project( configure->make) after some dependency and code changes? Any help would be appreciated. P On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 11:06 PM, Philip Herron<herron.philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hey > > My personal opinion is whats the point.
