yesthattomOk, i’m about 15 years out of touch with modern IDEs. I can’t believe how far they’ve come. 15 years ago we were happy if an editor completed your squigglybrackets for you. I was watching this demo and I couldn’t believe how this IDE writes code for you. Almost makes me with I was a developer!
Now I’m sure I’ll get a bunch of “real developers don’t need an IDE’ comments, but could we at least not have an “emacs vs. vi” debate?

Date: 2006-12-30 05:45 am (UTC)About the only "code generation" I ever do is getter/setter methods or the bit where it adds the "import Foo" declaration when I add a variable of that type. Then again, I don't have to work with that mess known as EJB so that eliminates the #1 need of pointless code generation.
Eclipse definitely is more useful to me than a plain old text editor, but mainly for the auto-compiling and all the integrated bits (CVS/SVN clients, ant, etc) that I can combine into a nice smooth workflow.
