thanks for your input, but i am searching for more modern tools than vi (vim) and gcc for rapid application development. --- Quote End ---
Excuse me? gcc is one of the most used and best compilers around and is running on and (cross)compiling for the largest set of architectures I know of. I've seen all too often windows users confuse a flashy graphical frontend that says "build" with a good compiler (just read some remarks along those lines on a Nios book of altera with the results of a university contest. I rarely use this word, but
clueless sprung to mind when I read that report of the students). Eclipse, in all important aspects, is nothing more than a front-end on gcc.
vim (yes yes and emacs) is one of the most powerful editors around. I think there is little discussion on both facts by people that use them on a daily basis. So called "modern" tools don't even come close. But they require some effort and have a more steep learning curve than other editors.
I have yet to see the first "modern" tool that can beat the productivity of my vim editor. I can only assume that your remarks are prompted by a limited knowledge of both.
What are you actually expecting from an embedded cgi program on a MMU-less architecture... but to me, you are treading on a very slippery slope, ...
