That all programmers of _any_ persuasion who want to reimplement the world in their own language instead of using existing tools are fundamentally brain-damaged. I'd say the same if the KDevelop people wanted to rewrite git and ssh in C++, too. I don't think that's such a childish observation, surely? Piecing together tools which do one thing, and do it well, is part of the UNIX philosophy. -- dwmw2
