I've seen several responses to questions asking for IDEs where text editors were suggested and vice-versa. That makes me think that people treat them as the same thing, where I draw clear distinctions. How do you define "text editor" and "IDE"? Do you see a difference between the two tools? Note that I accepted an answer which I think best addressed the concepts of "text editor" and "IDE". However, it's just my personal opinion of what best addresses the question and I will continue to check in on this question from time to time to see if there's a better answer and I will accept that one. I

I just took a web contract to fix up an existing site written in ColdFusion. I haven't had a chance to peak at the code yet, but the site itself is riddled with problems. Anyway, I've never used ColdFusion before, and barely know anything about it. Tutorials shouldn't be too hard to find, but what about an IDE? Is there a nice Visual Studio plugin? Or do I even need one? The official ColdFusion IDE from Adobe is ColdFusion Builder (in beta 3 right now, 1.0 final later this year). It is Eclipse based (same as CFEclipse ), and it will not be free (unlike CFEclipse ). If you already have

EDIT2 Scala IDE now has template support with type inference, semantic highlighting, etc. for the Play framework as of v3.0 of the IDE. Same deal with routes file(s), woohoo ;-) Not sure about Play, Scalate, or other template engine support in IntelliJ. EDIT Play 2.0 is unbelievably awesome, so much so that the lack of IDE support is fairly minor -- all the heavy lifting is done via model, controller and javascript (coffeescript + datatables) layers; view layer consists of simple xhtml skeletons, so no biggie not having, for example, autocomplete for Scala code -- your app won't compile if

I´m having a hard time configuring NetBeans for Rails3 in Windows. I got a lot of problems, many o then reported even here. So my question is: which of the following IDEs are best situated for Rails3 in a Windows Box right now: RubyMine Komodo IDE RadRails Look, i dont want to start a discussion (kinda x vs y). I just want to know from people who already are developing in Rails3 with Windows what is the better choice in the long run. Thanks! EDIT Issues with NetBeans Issue 1 Issue 2 Note: Im using RubyMine by now and facing no problems I'm using RubyMine . You can try it for free for 30 days.

I've used XCode and Netbeans, and I've noticed that they have a feature to automatically complete quotation marks or parentheses (and I assume that other IDEs often do this also). I don't know what the name of this feature is, but is there any way to do this in Emacs? For example, when I type printf(" I would like it to automatically input printf("") placing the cursor in between the quotation marks. Thank you. The basic variant would be AutoPairs . The same effect but a little more sophisticated can also be achieved with YASnippet . If you type M-(, that will insert both a ( and a ), and

There's any number of questions about MSIL on SO but none that directly answer this. I've been using Textpad which does have a syntax definition file for MSIL and then using ILASM in a command prompt window. I did find a reference to ILIDE but the link is broken. Is there an IDE or add-on / plugin to Visual Studio / Eclipse for MSIL that allows syntax highlighting, intellisense, code completion, debugging etc.? Use MonoDevelop You can build specially MSIL projects. It's very useful for these issues, also you can use it in both Windows and Linux. What is better than this? :) I made an extension

一直都是在Linux环境下手动配置LAMP架构来作为PHP的开发和运行环境，但是在个人电脑上开着虚拟机来进行开发工作确实很别扭（不管你是不是相信，反正我是信了），我们怕麻烦的是需要自己来打架环境，数据库、PHP、ningex或是Apache，这都是很烦人的事，在windows环境下有很多可用的用来开发PHP的架构软件。 网上有很多开发的框架软件可以选择，我使用的是wampServer来为我提供开发环境，它的安装很简单，php配置也非常的简单，网上有很多介绍。使用NeatBeans IDE来作为代码编辑器，它也有很好的框架支持很方便，只需要写自己需要的代码。 wampServer的安装和配置都很简单，就不说了，因为个人使用NeatBeans IDE时出现了点问题，所以总结一下。 1 、NeatBeans IDE7.3.1的安装就直接安装自己选好路径就可以了，没什么可说的，极其简单。 2 、针对PHP的项目创建 启动 IDE，切换至 "Projects"（项目）窗口，然后选择 "File"（文件）> "New Project"（新建项目）。"Choose Project"（选择项目）面板打开。 在 "项目"（Projects）区域中，选择 "PHP 应用程序"（PHP Application），然后单击 "下一步"（Next）。 "新建 PHP 项目"（New PHP Project
