[plt-scheme] Re: An Editors Tale

Dear Michael,

thanks for replying.

See I'm merely a mediocre programmer at best, I couldn't say that I'm really good at it, and I don't think I ever will be.

So I do appreciate the help VS gives me here, may it come with debugging and stepping, editing (Intelisense) or what have you. For *good* programmers theses things may be toys, nice to haves, etc. For someone with my level of skills ........

It is also very nice to design visual apps viually and the switch to the code view where needed.

All this is not meant to  put DrScheme or PLT down, DrScheme was meant for a different purpose, primarily an educational one and I do realize and appreciate that.

Best regards

Guenther
