[edit] IDE vs. source code editor
Please only put full-fledged IDEs, rather than list text-editors that just happen to you let run command-line programs such as g++ from within the IDE.
For this reason, I removed Geany since after downloading the Windows verison and playing around with it for a while, it seems clear that it doesn't have many build/compiling features. (I don't know the features the Linux version has.) However, Geany certainly fits the criteria of a source code editor. See source code editor. If anyone wants to make a separate page for advanced/powerful source code editors, Geany and others such as TextMate would fall easily into that category.
I know the distintion is often unclear, so please respond here first if you have any issues with this. Thanks -Hyad 01:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
A merge from the List article into the Comparison article would create a larger, much more categorized list of IDE's. -Gimmekat 23:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well since the timing of this coincides so closely with the "This page is a mess" comment I left on the list, it's probably no surprise that I agree with this proposal. I don't think the list can be usefully structured, and there isn't much point to repeating the information in two places in this case. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 23:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sun Java Studio Enterprise IDE
I cannot make head or tails on what the release date for the last stable release of this IDE is. I assumed it would be launched in conjunction with an update on Netbeans seeing how SJSE is based off of it, but this needs to be verified/fixed ASAP. -Gimmekat 04:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quincy!!
what about Quincy!!!
- Well, exactly. What is Quincy? Where do you get it? What can you do with it? This is Wikipedia; edit it! peterl 22:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] size
i think size should be compared too, i would rather have a IDE thats no bigger than 100 megabytes, than one that could ballon to over a gigabyte with plugins.
[edit] Language independent IDEs
This list is very language-based. But many IDEs today are not tied to a specific language; e.g. Visual Studio does all the MS languages, Komodo does open source, Eclipse is primarily a Java IDE but is easily extended into Perl, PHP, Python. Should this page be re-orged into one list, with another column of languages supported? peterl 22:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
