[Icc-mot] ImageCraft Blog

[Lance Smith]

I'd like to add that having a tool to generate the makefile is a very good
thing. That is all that I use the IDE for, but I REALLY appreciate having it
for that. As you know, all that we need to give it are the C source files
and it figures out all of the dependencies, and does a very good job of it,
better than the command line tool MAKEDEP.EXE that I have used with a "make"
tool in the past. Then a good general purpose code editor, such as
Codewright can read the makefile and bring in the results to create a nice
working environment. Providing interfaces to popular editors is the best way
to go. Not sure if that's what you mean by VS Express, but of course there
is also SlickEdit UltraEdit, etc. (many still use Codewright)

Editor-lite/compiler-heavy is the way to go for me too.

That makes 4 cents.
Best

Not sure if you were looking for feedback on what you wrote on the blog, 
but I guess I'll give it anyway.

Speaking from a Freescale processor point of view, we all have the 
option to go to CodeWarrior if we want a big, bloated, full-featured IDE 
with integrated debugger.  We (I) choose Imagecraft because it is 
cheaper and less complicated.  I disagree with the whole premise of 
upgrading the IDE.  I'd be happy if the product didn't have an IDE at 
all (I only use it from the command line, with a Makefile).

I think you should direct your energy into the compiler itself, and 
adding support for such things as XGATE, for example.

My 2 cents,
 Jim
