Hi, I'm taking a c++ class that is being taught with M$ Virtual C++ environment, but we are allowed to use any compiler of our choice. Is their anything similar to the Virtual C++ environment for linux?

I've always used vi for the little I've done.
Yeah, you can't do any serious programming with just vi, regardless of what people will continue to claim. Software development with vi is like trying to drive in a screw with a hammer. Not saying you can't get work done with it, but you're probably not being very efficient or doing a very good job. I'm not sure how people can work without autocompletion and class browsing when you're working on a huge project with hundreds of files and classes. Vi is probably still good for programs with less than 10 files and classes. Plus, IDE's like SlickEdit allows you to edit in vi mode. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
