Tangled in Code

The animated story of Rapunzel out this year was very apropos. The Disney story is about this long-haired Rapunzel who has spent her entire life in a tower. She must venture into the outside world for the first time.

Does this sound familiar in our programming realm? We are using our life long tools to program in our tower not venturing out into the world. Well guess what? There a great tools in the world other than a line by line editor, VIM, EMACS, VI, Notepad, AccuTerm, and the plethora of others. We are just guessing here but aren't you the programmers stuck in the proverbial tower.

We have been preaching about Eclipse IDE for over 6 years now. Our XLr8Editor is finest Eclipse based editor in the world. Of course, we can say that, because we are hearing from many people that have switched. We are getting a few people a week that are interested in our XLr8Editor whether by trial or actually purchasing a license. The programmers that ventured out of the programmer tower to try our product tell us we have a "excellent product".

For the rest of you, it time to wake up before the wicket witch can cut short Rapunzel's braided hair and you will never be able to leave the programming tower.
