What you are missing on the ISE side is that it is
an incremental compiler. It just takes a couple of
seconds to recompile a small modification in a
10,000 class system. I'm not even sure that SE can
compile a 10,000 class system from scratch.
So ISE and SE target different kind of usage of
the Eiffel language.
