Please.  Other computers have different programming environments, some of them
allow one to be much more productive than on an Amiga.  For example, Turbo
Pascal and Turbo C on PC have, in my opinion, the nicest programming environ.
I have used.  A lightning fast editor, good compiler, and power for those who
need it (you can add routines in assembly).  I defy any compiler to match the
ease of use and productivity one can achieve using Turbo Pascal.

I used to program in assembly on Apple II.  Talk about total control of the
system...
