Post by Lawrence D'OliveiroPost by dogyuI was wondering what are your thoughts on simplyfortran (using linux)
Single-language development environments aren’t really the way to go
nowadays.
So long as they support the target language(s) adequately. Some are
much more flexible in their language support tailor-ability than others.
I've often been disappointed by those development environments shipped
with compilers such as for Lahey and Absoft. I'm not especially fond of
VS either, but there doesn't seem to be any real competitors that
include all the essential features. The main problem with VS is MS
continuously changing the "integration" interface such that vendors are
always chasing their tails. I often need to supplement the editor with
something more powerful like kedit but usually for when I need to make
lots of string changes and a macro or a built in is more efficient. I
just switch back and forth as needed from within VS. It automatically
reloads the file when you exit any external editor.
