I guess I'm spoiled, I've been using TC so long now, that's what I'm
used to.  I started off using POWER C which was strictly command line, I
bought TC and it took me six months to even start using it, I didn't
want to learn the IDE, nor did I want to mess around with all the added
compiler options.  I guess I'm slow to change.  But, for people like me
it sure would be nice if Watcom made there IDE an actual IDE instead of
a Makefile shell.  It seems like it would be pretty easy to write some
code for a text mode makefile utility, instead of using the Slow gui
based watcom IDE.  It would also be nice if the IDE would pass the line
number to the editor in the form of a command line argument so it would
go to the error in VI.
