It is the best development environment I have ever worked in. Period. I have been a systems programmer on Unix for a number of years and am used to nice tools. But these tools and this environment totally blows away any C development environment I have used on Unix. The ease of use, speed of debugging, and general pleasure associated with this package is nearly orgasmic. (!) Soon we will see similar environments springing up for other high-level languages. I predict that the Mac will become the de facto standard software development environment for people "in the know." Once you have tasted of window-debugging, nothing else is adequate. My congratulations go to authors Lucas and Maruhnic. Stuart
