SlickEdit 2009 Review Published

Sunday November 1, 2009

Though I spend most of my time in front of an IDE, there was a time years ago when I would have welcomed something like SlickEdit which I have just reviewed. Back then, the the initials PWB might bring back a few memories! It's not true that it was short for Programmer's Waste Bin.

Since then of course Visual Studio's IDE has become pretty good and there's Eclipse/Netbeans and a whole stack more. So it's a competitive environment to be trying to sell an IDE in. My conclusions are that SlickEdit 2009 is an excellent full featured IDE (with a Macro programming language more powerful than C) that is great for development where you use different programming languages or platforms. But judge for yourself...
