Do you like GIT? I've never used it before, only SVN, Perforce, and CVS. I’ll try RadRails for a bit. Do you like GIT? I’ve never used it before, only SVN, Perforce, and CVS.

It's been a while since I tried RadRails etc but I was super happy with NetBeans when I switched to Rails. http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html It has a GIT plugin and some things like that which make it great too.

I am going to recommend this to all the hardware designers I know. Cool product Philippe, and very much needed for languages like verilog and VHDL!

But this is not limited to engineers working on web applications. If you use _any_ computer language for more than a quick hack, you should try to find a suited IDE. When I was still in college, I was frustrated that there was no decent IDE available for VHDL. After I finished my Ph.D., there was _still_ no decent IDE for VHDL, so I decided to start a company who would build and sell this IDE. We've just hit the market last month, with customers in Europe and North America. I read you're also working on a startup (still in stealth mode huh?). Well, good luck! Can't wait to see what you will launch in half a year. Philippe Hi Poornima,
