About RTP . . . if you like the indenting, the colour, etc, a good IDE is JCreator, it's what I use, and I love it, it's small (not like NetBeans) and you can customize it (use any JDK you want). Now can someone explain to me why using an IDE is so wrong?

Yeah, JCreator is good. I use that now (well, that or TextPad with it's built in compiler keyboard shortcuts, which are really all I needed anyways).

The only thing I use RTP for now is to catch any spacing mistakes I make - at the end of a project I'll open it all up in RTP and indent it. It's not perfect, for example the ternary operator gets split up onto different lines because RTP treats it like a label for spacing, but w/e, still easy at the end of it all.

When I got Visual Studio? 6 I think, I had some VB code (this was a long while ago) and I had no clue how to enter it. I spent around an hour before giving up and doing nothing. That stopped me from learning VB before going into Turing. I'm pretty sure it was just some certain template or somethign that you needed for it to work.

There's your example.

You give up too easily.

Pfft, my only knowledge was of BASIC back then, and I get a program that sells for somehting like $100 and can't get a simple program to work. It's sort of discouraging...

If it stops people from learning easily then there's something wrong.
