We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
I was having some windows trouble yesterday so I started cleaning up some utilities I didn't think I was using and subsequently broke my python installation. As I was contemplating what I needed to do to "fix the glitch" (one of my favorite Office Space quotes) it occurred to me as I've been walking through pyControl in a series of tech tips that I have not been testing my code on platforms other than windows. So today, I'm making the break. Here on out, if it's not Visual Studio or Powershell, it will not be done in a windows environment. I may test it on windows to give it a thumbs up, but all non .NET development will be on Linux going forward.
Now that I have that off my chest...what do you recommend? I was using Eric4 on windows before breaking it. I've heard good things about SPE, Geany, & Gedit. I would like to setup an environment with syntax highlighting, versioning, console, and a GUI designer.
BTW, wanted to give Tux an opportunity to show off one of my childhood homes. OK, I didn't live in the tower (how could you sleep), but I lived in a town down the road called Livorno. Good times.
