funny thing is VB has survived this long just because you HAVE to have
the IDE to edit the code. That is one of the biggest selling points of
VB.

It should not be an issue, just make all the IDE's cross platform.

All the worth while Java IDE's are cross platform. Intellij IDEA and
Together.
Maybe Eclipse but it is pretty buggy compared to the commerical
offerings.

That is what Python is missing is an quality IDE that is cross
platform. All the ones out now suck when compared to something like
IDEA or Together.

anyone that thinks about following up this post with anything about vi
or emacs can just stop right now and go back to their hole.
