Thank you for sharing this experience Manu, I had no idea there were so many

used it on windows for small projects, but I haven't experienced the issues you
describe.

Can I just say to some of the others in this thread: comments along the lines of
"use vim" or "use a free os" are not helpful. These are legitimate users and
their issues are legitimate also, whether you agree with their choice of
environment or not.

Yes, I agree.

Might I suggest one step further to you Walter, that it might be worth-while for you to take an interest personally into Visual-D, and maybe Mago. Since you're probably the primary Windows contributor?

Perhaps try and work with these tools on a daily basis for a while. Especially try some intensive debugging sessions under Visual-D/VS.

You might find that it may short-circuit a lot of micro-bug reports in the debugging experience.
