Scott Hanselman's 2009 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows

Hey I was just complaining, because I have to a Windows maschine at work. I try to make it behave like a Unix with Cygwin and Emacs, but there are limits. Actually I think the Hanselman List is pretty useless. To use 3 different editors is BS. Get to know one, for every kind of editing.

I think your problem is that you are trying to make it behave like a Linux machine. If you're going to live in Rome, you'll have a better time of it if you learn to speak Italian.

And the fact that the list has multiple editors isn't saying that you need to use all of them. It means that there are several very good editors and that you should choose one based on your needs / preferences.

I agree that you should choose one, use for all your editing and learn it inside and out. Personally, I just use Visual Studio for everything.

But I don't want to live in Rome (actually i would like). And I need a car that works the same in Rome AND in Paris.
