I don't think that Chris is spinning his wheels, but I will say that the work load he has is of huge proportions. It would blow most people away. ******************************************************* Thanks Matt, your comment means a great relief for me ! > As for the editor, if someone has been a complainer, it is me. > These days though, I am eating my words. No complaints from my side about the FB4-editor so far, except that I can't use it because -- although advertised -- it doesn't run under OS 10.1. Although in principle it runs with OS 9.x, it is useless on machines with speeds below about 500 MHz. > I am going to college to get a degree in computer programming. > They don't offer C/C++ classes, so I am stuck learning these languages > by myself. ... > Last but not least, C is a horrid language.

C isn't a horrible language per se but the minimalism of its syntax isn't well suited for hobby coders like me...

To me the problem of commercial beta software isn't one of more or less useful programming languages or IDEs but one of people who decide that there is no problem with selling unfinished products.
