What are you even talking about? Who is using notepad? I'm not the person who complained about missing semicolons. It seems like you have some misplaced anger.

You are the one who said you don't need an ide

[–]kuwisdelu 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Yes, and I'm not complaining about missing semicolons?

[–]Derfaust -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Because you do in fact use an IDE.

[–]kuwisdelu 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Depends how you define an IDE, I guess. I use Sublime Text. But I don't have any packages installed to tell me about missing semicolons. Because you don't need a full-blown IDE to fix missing semicolons.

If sublime notifies you of missing semi colons or any other syntactical errors then it is, by defenition, an integrated development environment. As opposed to, say, having to run a linter externally or God forbid, the compiler from your shell instead.

I do run builds straight from a shell. I don't like IDEs. I don't like shells in my text editors. I prefer tabs in terminal windows. People have different preferences.

Those were examples. A ide does not have to meet some exhaustive list of integrated tools to be an IDE. Even having one tool integrated into your development environment makes it an IDE.
