Sep 15, 2008 · Once again I'm very sad that IDE "text editors" are cheap, lame, stupid, pathetic piece of garbage when compared to Emacs. But good IDEs shine in a lot of area (like refactoring, contextual code completion, real-time warnings, etc.) where Emacs is basically nowhere. Give me Emacs in the middle of my IDE that said. I'm longing for that day.

Aug 28, 2009 · Emacs is a big REPL, so if you code in emacs lisp and press C+X C+E you can see the intermediate values of a bunch of s-expressions. Its also possible to program it to show you every single intermediate value without having to press C-x C-e and this beats out every bloated Java or Visual Studio IDE by a long mile...

Sep 16, 2009 · This means that some stuff, like embedding a debugger or an interpreter (yielding a sort of IDE), is difficult in Vim. Also, Emacs shortcuts are mainly accessed through modifiers, and obviously the Vim interface is famously modal, giving access to an absurd amount of direct keys for manipulation.

Aug 29, 2016 · CEDET has some support for projects, but I have not tested it. However Emacs integrate well with command-line build tools such as make. Errors are printed in a buffer and you can jump to the correct line easily within Emacs. GDB is also integrates well with Emacs M-x gdb, then just remember the gdb-many-windows command.

Nov 20, 2009 · The IDEs (Visual Studio, Eclipse) simply have everything including autocomplete and lookup with appropriate content from the framework, and debugging, even though code writing part is always unsatisfactory (I always end up installing some sort of emacs plugin for the IDE, which always fall short of Emacs proper!).

Dec 25, 2014 · I would like to use emacs instead of Netbeans which gets too bloated on my computer. I already have JDEE, I did not dig it, but it looks like it lacks: Classes testing : run a class which has a main

May 29, 2017 · To find out the current commands, in the Arduino IDE | File | Preferences, check "Show verbose output during: x compilation x upload". Then you can see the full command in the IDE log window, and adapt your Emacs Makefile to use them. For IDE 1.6.4, targeting a LilyPad Arduino board, that shows avr-gcc for the compiler, and avrdude for the ...

Nov 16, 2009 · Emacs is an editor, not an IDE. It has a ton of 'extra' features and is very configurable for an editor - but it's really not meant to be an IDE. If you want an open-source IDE you might want to check out Eclipse. Having said that - you can compile from within emacs in a number of ways: 1.

Jun 17, 2009 · I use Emacs for shell scripts. I know I read somewhere there's some mode to make it easier (code completion, autocomplete, bracket matching, syntax highligting, check syntax) to write Shell scripts on Emacs but haven't been able to find it. In short, I would like to turn Emacs into a Bash IDE.

Jul 18, 2014 · If you want easy, use an IDE and compiler packaged together, such as the Visual Studio freebie edition, or Code Blocks, or Dev C++, etc. My understanding is that the M-x compile prompt is looking for a shell command, in the path of the shell that emacs runs which you can of course set somewhere.
