vs6 rules

Post by nikos »

people often are amazed to hear that I'm still using the 15+ year old visual studio 6 instead of some more recent version. It's not just that I know it best and it is much faster to do everything, but it lets me work better too. Just compare the following window snapshots. With VS6 I can see 50 lines of code and the classwizard works, so I know where I am at each moment. With visual studio 2010 I can only see 36 lines with everything else minimized to the max. And the classwizard bar doesn't have a clue about the source code location I am editing. Is that progress? :roll:

Visual Studio 2010 is a lot more intelligent when you use Visual Assist X. And it surely does see your current class and function then. :beer:

Not that I'm a friend of Microsoft's UI "improvements" anyway. A full-screen text editor is probably the best programming environment. But integrating the VS toolchain into Emacs requires some effort.
