IDES 101, PART II: 5 More Open-Source Coding Environments for Developers — Application Development Trends.
Back in May we took our first look at some free, open-source coding environments that trace their roots back to Vim and Unix. This time around we’ll introduce you to six more FOSS editors. There’s little in the way of shared lineage with this batch, though: Quanta Plus and Kate come out of the KDE project, while Bluefish is built on GNOME. The other editors discussed here have similarly diverse backgrounds.
Another differentiating feature, however, is that some of these tools are starting to resemble full-bore integrated development environments (IDEs). Read on to find out what we mean.
IDE 101: 5 Open Source Web Development Tools — Vim and Its Kin — Application Development Trends.
It takes the right tools to do the job right. When it comes to writing code, it’s important to consider both the needs of the job and the preferences of individual developers. Comfort and familiarity make long sessions in front of the screen that much more productive.
Here are six open source IDEs you may not know about. All of these tools have Unix/Linux roots, but they’re all highly configurable and run on a variety of platforms, from various flavors of Linux to Mac OS, Solaris, Windows and even handheld devices.
