I haven't had time to really evaluate LSE. On the surface LSE seems ok, but my editor of choice at the moment is probably a heck of a lot better. Believe it or not, some developers still use ed! Once an editor is learned, there is a tremendous disincentive to try something new. Make is such an integral part of the development process that I'd think you'd make sure it worked if you were selling it along with a compiler. Then again, who ever heard of buying a compiler because it had the better make utility? 🙂 Dave @OTG
