However, at my age, another thing that's mind-blowing is that this is now considered efficient. My first experiences with this was with (IIRC) was its predecessor, Forte for Java, and while I loved it, I remember it being a huge resource-hog. It's unbelievable to me how much computing power has improved to the point that something like NetBeans can be considered efficient (I don't discount their efforts in making it more efficient, but I think the fact we have more brute-force capacity these days certainly helps a lot).
