That can be expensive and/or hinder others supporting the application down the road. I use vim for most of my development as well, although we officially use Dreamweaver at work mostly because of its Site features. I am a long time "vi" user (since about 1984) and for many years preferred to develop code using vi from a command line whether working on a unix based or windows machine. A few years ago I started playing with a couple of IDEs and started using Eclipse and have become a total convert. Most of the programming I do is in java (I have also been using the Spring Framework for about 5 years) but I also do a bit of PHP and since most of the development work is in web applications with with xml, html, css, javascript, java server pages, etc. Eclipse handles all of them well. -- John Fereira Cornell University Twitter: @john_fereira Google Wave: [log in to unmask]
