My sentiments exactly.
The best way to improve Windows is run it on a Mac.

Sadly not.  I uninstalled it pretty much the same day I tried it out.

Funny, I always thought horse's did drop a lot of crap along the way.
Still, my first quick scan misread it that you prefer your IDE "hung like a horse". The mind boggles.

Well, punched cards.
When I was allowed near VDUs I started with a text editor. A line based text editor, so you couldn't see what you were doing unless you asked for it to print your text so far. Which you didn't often, at 7 1/2 characters per second.
Slowly, I have moved on up, thinking each step a vast improvement.
"Wow! I can see my text all the time!"
"Wow! I can have move than one text file open and see them BOTH at the same time!"
"Wow! It supports TABS! I can indent!"
"Wow! It indents for me!!!!!!!"
And so on.
What we have now may require a much, much better PC to work on, but there is no way I would want to go back!
It's like cars - I can remember when they were still supplied with a starting handle so you could get them running if the battery was flat (my mother had one). Now, I jump in, turn the key, and it starts. I'm not in favour of manual cranking an engine over at all...

When I was at Uni, a mate of mine bought his first car. Not only did it have a starting handle (which it needed at traffic lights when he stalled it) but it also had a valve radio. Looked like a normal car radio, but it was about 2 cubic feet and took a couple of minutes to warm up. I always expected it to start with the News from the Western Front, rather than Radio Caroline...

I too started with punched cards (fortran on a univac 1108). i may not like all the whizbang features these days, but I SURE do not want to go back <chuckle>

Like all things it depends
1) What language I am writing in
2) Is it a quick one line change
3) Can I run an IDE in the environment
etc
But it is a trade off - speed vs power

I prefer this.
Programmer's C# { Do it Better;}
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed, I also prefer Visual Studio as an IDE
|
|
|
|
|
I like my IDE to be:
- xcopy deployable and not require 1 hr installation time (a real pain when your in the field)
- instant startup from a cold start
- small deployment size (usb drivable) not a dvd
- most of the time intellisense will do fine
- 64bit debugging and edit and continue is very welcome

If the IDE is not from Borland Inprise Embarcadero, that seem to change every IDE (and every class library) in every new version, a full featured IDE is best.
E.g. Visual Studio or Eclipse.
