In general, an IDE does have the potential to enhance productivity.
I don't agreed, Why do people develop the Slickedit(IDE without simulator)? which called professional editor! if useless? Maybe MCU project often is a samll project, so it doesn't need too much in the modern editors(IDEs) have. however, if you want to coding with modern technolgy, you should involved refactor, but without refactor tool, I don't think you can do this process easily.
uVision isn't a really great IDE - but it still, I think, does have the potential to enhance productivity.
agreed
Of course, with any general purpose tool, you can always do better with something specifically optimised. agreed
I think your specific situation is not a general - possibly not even common - one?
People who use VS may have same situation with me, if not, maybe a burden
"Maybe MCU project often is a samll project..."
Quite the opposite for us.
Our projects are normally too large to be run (easily) in the simulator.
What is all this "refactoring" stuff, anyhow?
from where I sit, it just looks like a fancy search-and-replace to me?
"from where I sit, it just looks like a fancy search-and-replace to me?"
I've often thought that myself!
Maybe not. http://www.wholetomato.com/
Well, a cynic would say, "If VS is so great, why would you need to add all these extras...?"
But, back to my question, that site says nothing whatsoever about what "refactoring" actually is! What does it actually mean?
It claims to make it easy - but it doesn't say what it is!
It just assumes that I want to "refactor" - it doesn't tell me why I might want to do that!
I think that the closest you get on that site is this: www.wholetomato.com/tour.asp
