Yes that's exactly it.
I guess that 'at times' I feel that this list
verges on OS bigotry where everything that isn't
linux is wrong. I just wanted to point out that
I was using an alternative for a while and really like it.
I never thought that I would say this as I have never
been a fan of MS stuff before ( except VB and Visual Studio )
As for Turbo C in DOS. I learned C on it using K&R.
Yes I have fond memories but ultimately you use
the tool that suits you and the job best ( even if it is Windows )
