Re: Hurray, Merry Christmas
Of course there are strong opinions about IDE's which mostly, IMO involve tribal loyalties based on some fuzzy algorithm based on what you use the most and started with first rather than rationally and objectively which is best.
I'm baffled that anyone thinks there could possibly be an acceptable rubric for determining "rationally and objectively which [IDE] is best".
(Personally, my answer would be "none of them". Some are merely less terrible than others.)
