It sucked in VB5/6 as well.  It was feature that encouraged crappy
coding, IMHO. Didn't use  it then, don;t use it now.  By the way, the
couple of times I ahve tried it in .NET, I have never noticed any
keystroke lag?

Forgot to bring this minor E&C point up... say you're single stepping thru
code... you're about 10/15 minutes into a deep analysis and, oops, you've
misspelled something that'll have an impact on the final output... you know,
like your use of "don;t" instead of "don't" and "ahve" instead of "have"....
so, if I understand you correctly, you'd rather stop everything, fix those 2
errors and restart your 10/15 minute analysis to get back to that point?
Ok... whatever.... Then, I'd say you'd better write your code better than
you write posts. I spotted 2 errors in a matter of seconds... and we're
talking about a single paragraph here.... fargin' C snobs... they last only
days where I work. Too much gum flapping and not enough production... while
they're in their meetings, beating their chests and raving how cool they
are, I'm out there actually getting work done. Imagine that!

For small errors, I don't really have a problem with it. What I
noticed was that for some of the developers I worked with it became
sort of a crutch. They wouldn't really think things through, they
would just hack some code, and then fix it in debug mode. It sort of
turned me off.
