I've been following this codewarrior thing for as long as I've had the
yaroze. I'm not saying Codewarrior is bad, becuase I've never used it,
and I like to think it has its merits, but what I don't understand is
why did people buy the thing anyway? I don't seem to have any problem
with gcc (except when it generates 100 error messages and I can't see
the first one!) and siocons isn't a problem either. For me it's
quicker to use all the keyboard shortcuts to switch to the dos box,
recompile and send it to the playstation than it is for me to reach
for the mouse, and click and drag from windows that Id have to bring
to the front anyway :) Mind you, I hardly use the mouse, and maybe Id
love CodeWarrior if my University gave it to me free like everything
else :)
