Where Microsoft fails completely is that they think that an editor is technology. Editors
are not technologies. Editors are religions.

"memory" can be reminded. I also find the VS 2005 editor to be useful. I
don't use much formatting on source files so I can't vouch for the other
features. I do use a few macros and they seem to work OK. I guess editor
use is subjective like so many other things.
Regardless of all of that I still think having this-> in the program looks
funny.

I find Intellisense largely useless. When I get to the important
parameter, the one which
is the OR of ten or fifteen constants, all it tells me is that I have a
UINT or DWORD,
which is no help at all.
IT also requires that I would have to use the Microsoft editor, which is
not something I
would willingly do. I don't use punched cards for programming, and I
don't use the
Microsoft editor. How could I respect an editor that can't get the
simplest issues of
indentation right? Or put page breaks (formfeeds) in a file? Or let me
attach executable
code to every possible keystroke? I haven't used an editor this bad since
the early
1970s, and even Intellisense can't save it.
