- Kretien, on 03/18/2009, -1/+17I accidentally over the developer tools, is that bad?
- Tarantulus, on 03/18/2009, -0/+14dugg down for GCC, MAKE and the following quote: "professional Web site without having to know HTML"
nobody should need GCC or MAKE to be on any list, I mean seriously. if you're developing on linux and Don't know about these tools, you're doing it wrong.
oh, and don't get me started on wysiwyg editors... - netdroid9, on 03/18/2009, -2/+13overian cancer?

- Hobbes24, on 03/18/2009, -1/+11over clock?
- Smegzor, on 03/18/2009, -1/+9I am so over this story.
- Mutiny32, on 03/18/2009, -0/+8Seriously? Make? Might as well include vi.
- gerryk, on 03/18/2009, -1/+9Eclipse is #9? I hope this list isn't arranged in any particular order...
- ifknot, on 03/18/2009, -1/+8don't worry the words in the article don't seem to have a particular order to them either
- netdroid9, on 03/18/2009, -2/+8over use?
- shinkou, on 03/18/2009, -0/+6They don't need Git or SVN? I found myself couldn't live without one. As for IDE, I only use Vim.
- envec, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5dugg for including Bluefish
- dawndaemon, on 03/18/2009, -0/+5Vim is on the throne :)
It's interesting that most developers on GNU/Linux platform use Vim (or Emacs) but you will not see them ever in these lists. I thought that it is just because that everybody who needs to know about them already does, but, then again, this article contains GCC and make... Is there a single G/L developer who doesn't know about them?
@LoneWolf01
Putting the Vim and Emacs with nano, ed and "every other editor" is only showing the basic ignorance concerning the first two. - stenhard, on 03/18/2009, -0/+5You should not over any of them. Not a one!
- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4@chadsmith729: Airplane!
- meffie, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4"GDB isn’t really a developer tool..."
Um? I nearly sprayed coffee all over my screen reading that. - keyo, on 03/18/2009, -1/+5This ***** site is just full of top 10 lists. Get some real news lazy *****!
- chadsmith729, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4I was going to say the same thing, the thing I don't like about AS is that they have HORRIBLE support fore FireFox 3's XURLRUNNER. You have to use the old one, which creates issues for FireFox3's new stuff. Least that's what I found on Ubuntu. I'm sorry I just wish there was something like Zend Studio 5.5 mind you because 6.0+ doesn't have Word Wrap! WTF right? Right. Or Aptana wouldn't take so many god damn hacks to make it work properly. I even tried to install through Eclipse as a module and it just wouldn't go and kept giving me errors. I used it in Windows and liked it a lot. Too bad.
- rolf, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4They should. Should also include emacs with it.
- xdevit, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4Hate to ask this here.. but I currently use Kdevelop for my c/c++ needs..
Anjuta any better ?
Reason I ask is im not a fan of taking the time to learn a new IDE if you know what I mean.. - canthraxp, on 03/18/2009, -0/+410 random linux and open source tools.
(And, btw, anyone interested in web development, should take a look at Aptana, an IDE based on Eclipse) - Tarantulus, on 03/18/2009, -0/+4wait... people still actually use dreamweaver?...
- jimmyp3016, on 03/18/2009, -0/+3Bluefish is old school.
He's prob not in "the know" if he didn't mention Aptana Studio. - trollick, on 03/18/2009, -0/+3Over –verb
Southern US: to recover from. - TrancePhreak, on 03/18/2009, -0/+31. Grammar / spell check?

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
Tower voice: Over.

Tower voice: Roger, over!
Roger Murdock: What?
Captain Oveur: Huh?
Victor Basta: Who? - Auzy, on 03/18/2009, -1/+4Speaking of overlooking tools, this article overlooked systemtap completely. Yet, it has both Bluefish and Quanta plus.
Furthermore, Glade is a joke compared to QT Interface designer (at least last time I tested glade, which was a year ago). - JohnFlux, on 03/18/2009, -0/+3Out of interest, kdevelop 3 or kdevelop 4? Kdevelop 4 is looking to be extremely awesome, although some of the plugins cause it to crash a lot.

- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -2/+5ye, ripping debian must be hard.
- themusicalduck, on 03/18/2009, -0/+3I accidentally the whole of it.
- vincentkriek, on 03/18/2009, -3/+6Where's vim?
- wesw02, on 03/19/2009, -0/+2Yea this is a really poor list. Looks like someone stayed out too late drinking and through something together.
4 out of 10 are IDEs, lol come on
gcc is on the list, gee do I need a compiler? I was going to translate it to machine code on my own, this should save me some time
gdb is also on the list, using a debugger never crossed my mind ....
make, seriously something else I would never have thought of without reading this article
*sigh*
How about a SCM? I use SVN, but there are other great one's (CVS, Mercurial, Git, etc).
How about a bug/issue tracker? I use Buzilla, but there are other great one's (Trac, Mantis, etc)
How about a framework? I use Qt, but there are other great one's (GTK, wxWidgets, FLTK, etc)
Other thoughts, build automation (build bots), distributed compiling (distcc), QA software, design charts (flow control, inhertiance, etc).
Maybe I should just write the article for him. - Azzk1kr, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2I use Eclipse CDT for my C and C++ developing. It's quite good in my opinion. If you are familiar with Eclipse you may want to check it out.
- linuxpenguin, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2The thing about it is that these are all text editors (yes, I know emacs can do a lot more but it's still a text editor). They're not really development tools even if people use them for development. All you need is a text editor and a compiler to write a program - but if you are writing software for a living, you will find that these aren't usually enough, especially since a single typo is all it takes for you to create a memory leak or a program that doesn't work at all.
Text editors are fine for languages where you don't compile your code (such as XML/HTML or many interpreted languages). But for compiled languages (or for large projects), they become cumbersome - you should use an IDE which can save you time and hassle. Syntax highlighting and debuggers can be a real godsend. - the8thbit, on 03/18/2009, -1/+3Are there any Linux developers who actually haven't heard of GCC or Make?
- pinchduck, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2I will not over them.
- bob_the_alien, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2I use KompoZer, and it rates right up there with Dreamweaver, but it's free, so really Dreamweaver doesn't hold a card to it.
Also Make, wtf - tcaduto, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2Lazarus is great as well as Gambas.
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/
Not to mention the Eric IDE for python:
http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/
For web development Pylons is also great and has a built in debugger.
http://www.pylonshq.com The Eric IDE for python has a plugin that simplifies working with Pylons.(It's easy to begin with just using a text editor as well) - ommadawn, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2http://www.cmake.org/
- charlietuna, on 03/18/2009, -0/+2Ready to digg me down? Emacs is both a terminal /and/ an editor. Add the semantic bovinator / JDEE (http://jdee.sourceforge.net/) and it pretty much becomes an IDE.
- darkism, on 03/19/2009, -0/+1@MtheoryX: You can't steal something that doesn't physically exist. Dugg down for RIAA-esque thinking.
- secrity, on 03/21/2009, -0/+1I use vi
- devHH, on 03/19/2009, -0/+1Qt-Creator looks nice to me.. on the other hand Kdevelop 4.x will be/is great :-)
