I’ve been spending a lot of time in Excel’s VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) editor and I’ve found an odd bug. In the main code editor window the scroll wheel on my mouse won’t work. I didn’t realize how much I use that scroll wheel while I’m coding, until it didn’t work.
I’m also pretty sure that the intellisense is buggy or perhaps just not that intelligent.? That’s the problem with getting so used to IDE’s like Visual Studio 2005 and the new Netbeans, is that you come to rely on intellisense and auto completion and those cool drop down box’s too much. Maybe I should go “hardcore” and use emacs or VI or cat, mmmh would have to be notepad on windows…
This is all in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Personally, I use GVim on windows. It’s taken me awhile to learn all the shortcuts (’cause I’m lazy), but it seems I’m really starting to get productive now.
GVim? I take it you like leather, handcuffs and a good wiping? J/K
On windows my IDE of choice is Visual Studio 2005 it’s pretty good and while it crashes often, hangs, freezes and does “weird” stuff it does make me more productive. Next on the list is probably Netbeans 5 for Java, Eclipse pyDev for Python and Notepad2.exe for everything else.
Linux it’s Netbeans, Eclipse, Nano, Gedit and MCEdit
Not really sure on MacOSX though only played with Netbeans on it and almost never have to edit anything.
