I'm not sure if you saw the comments on HN, but they are also very interesting.kikito wrote:Since this topic is still more-or-less active, I thought about bringing this recent on-topic article:

I don't use IDEs (unless you count unix as IDE) for any of my projects, but I cannot agree with that statement at all. Code navigation, code completion, project management, build management, interactive debugging, etc. are very valuable tools to have. It does not (really) matter if they are integrated in one big piece of software or separated into several smaller programs (vim/emacs/$EDITOR, shell, *make/autotools, gdb+valgrind), it only matters you can use them effectively.kikito wrote:Since this topic is still more-or-less active, I thought about bringing this recent on-topic article:

It's probably worth noting that the "Scala IDE" eclipse plugin is considered the best Scala IDE. In fact, the designer of Scala, Martin Odersky, contributes to it. I believe he once said that it is his preferred environment for programming in Scala. I tried it a couple of years ago; it seemed to work pretty well.kikito wrote:Since this topic is still more-or-less active, I thought about bringing this recent on-topic article:
