The last time I used a text editor to write code, then I was writing HTML in Notepad back in 1000 years. first. Since then, I have been dependent on more or less IDE for my entire career, using Visual Studio, Netbeans, Intelies, Borland / Codigier Studios, and Eclipse.

What is worth it for, I tried MX, and my experience was a disappointing reason because it was a complete lack of out-the-box detectable features (apparently There is an AMACS command for the search of other AMACS commands, which I could not get from the way - it's like the cruelty of Zen, like a cruel life.)
