OS WARS... What's the point?

Hardly mean to troll here, but I've gathered a lot of info on OS shortcomings from this thread. I don't know how accurate it all is, but it's nice to see a list of concise points (from both multiple sides) instead of surfing the net looking for random (probably biased) articles, or installing all X of the systems and evaluating them myself. As long as we don't start seeing heads rolling, I think it's a sound debate...but probably not in a thread entitled "IDE's and compilers".

I agree.

Real Programmers don't use operating systems.

You're still doing the cosmic ray beams on micro-circuit boards approach, Grey Wolf?

Real Programmers aren't real. They are a fabrication of the NSA, which is attempting to employ fear of superior programers as a counter-cyberterrorism measure. Anyone who claims to be a Real Programmer is an NSA operative and may be mocked for their inferiority at your leisure.

Now there's something Portal 2's Fact Sphere didn't mention.

I am one of the people who use a more minimalist editor. I gave full-blown IDEs another try for a few months and I really did enjoy some things about Netbeans and Eclipse, but by the end of the day I switched back to Smultron.

I don't know if you would call Vim "minimal" but it definitely has a minimal UI. This is what my typical programming environment looks like:

@Grey Wolf I just get a woman with a funny hat. Apparently, their webserver is overloaded...

I got a "image hot-linking disabled" error when I tried to open that link. Is this what you were talking about?

Albatross, yep.

the link works fine for me...ho hum.

[Disch]

if you don't know how to get around those hotlinking errors, you should be ashamed of yourself. ;P

@Albatross That was what I was talking about. My means of expressing it may have been less informative, but I think it was more amusing ^^

EDIT: I also think it might be amusing given the content of this thread to point at that now both my Windows and Ubuntu installations have, for various reasons, reached the stage where they are almost unusable. As such I shall be reinstalling them both (hopefully today).
