That sums up most of the reasons for our "disagreements", really. I would probably never accept a job where I had to use an environment somebody else has set up. >>An editor without such facilities is entirely unsuitable for any >>kind of programming,IMHO. > >I agree but sometimes you do quick fixes, say from the site of you customer and >you telnet back home and baraely manage to open vi on your files... Been there, but in my experience emacs always worked well even when I had to connect using ssh on my PowerBook with a mobile phone. >>Regarding Anthony's comment that my coding style would have driven his >>boss nuts: I hope I'll never have a job where my boss wants to read my >>code, and also that I'll never have a job where I need to code in any >>other language than Common Lisp. :-) > >In my company we used to have strict standards on coding, people are not really >always following them, but a "bad notation" like closing multiple braces on the >same line is something nobody ever does. What is considered "bad notation" depends on the community. In the Lisp community, of course, closing multiple braces on the same line is something *everybody* *always* does.
