[Alephmodular-devel] Re: OT: MSVC goodies

[Chris B. <zzk...@uq...>]

Codewarrior doesn't have most of the MSVC goodies, however it generally 
makes up for them in other ways, to the extent that it is still my 
favourite development environment (despite certain *big* drawbacks :-)

Selecting a symbol and pressing cmd-' to activate the browser will show 
you the definition in context etc which is about as effective (if not 
quite so nifty) as the msvc context information. It doesn't have the 
scope awareness that MSVC provides. On the flipside, it does provide 
quite a few simpler but still nifty shortcuts that msvc lacks (pre .net 
anyway) including swap to header, open named file, etc.

The compiler is also blindingly fast compared to apple's tools (some 
1400% improvement when i last tested it against the pre-gcc-3 project 
builder.) it's a pity about the poor SCM support (MSVC's got it made, 
there, and i haven't used CVS with PB)
