Comment on Ask HN: Is there editors and IDE crisis?parent

Comments

Using a 1998 application in 2007 must have felt very snappy sure.

I remember using it in 1998, with little memory on spinning rust. It was clunky as hell and very clueless. Big projects took ages to be built. Crashes were so frequent it was ridiculous.

It definitely had crashes, especially with C++ intellisense - visual assist was a must for crashes (and the functionality was also nice).

I had been using it since 1998 on reasonable hardware. It was always reasonable for me.
