Re: No working IDE in FreeBSD!

The I in IDE stands for Integrated.  An IDE is an "editor with more general 
niftiness" by definition.  Unix can be a development environment, but is not an 
IDE.

Unix is the original IDE. FreeBSD is a good modern implementation.

If you don't think that's enough, you need to say what you're really looking 
for, rather than just an IDE. It sounds like you're after an editor with more 
general niftiness. Visual Slickedit?
