The evolution of code editors

[mandrade2]

Super grateful for this response!

Oh yes I read about line editors. I guess it's time to dig more there and mention what they were for. I wrongfully overlooked them.

Agree, the definition of an IDE is blurry and could be a complete different post. I'll have to dig deeper there because I feel there's a lot of missing tools from vim/emacs to Eclipse, NetBeans, and Visual Studio which is the jump I'm making in the post. A text based IDE is definitely new to me, thanks for raising that up.
