This is off topic; it belongs on comp.lang.c, if anywhere.

But the short answer is that for some of us, command-line, augmented by a
viewpathing system based on  make  and with our own editors, _IS_ friendly
and the monolithic IDE approach isn't.  And the `pieceparts' approach can
easily be extended, integrated with revision and release management tools,
and so forth.  These are important considerations in a large project.

Hey, some people like modeless editors and think that moded editors are
crimes against humanity; others like moded editors and think that modeless
editors are crimes against common sense and decency.

Borland C++ has friendly environment to help programmer to design big software,
while most (all ?) UNIX system use command line to do C program, awful.
Why no company make a friendly programming environment for any UNIX system?
Why Borland do not move Borland C++ (after delete the PC-oriented functions) to
other popular UNIX platform such Sun, HP etc.?
I could not see there is any technology problem to do these things.

UNIX C programmer is always skilful to handle vast amount of functions and
command line arguments? they have strong memory?
Borland love Microsoft therefore Microsoft's PC?

Any one care about this? explain this?

Thank you.
