I am principally interested in development languages for scientific computing and file-system management (FORTRAN, Python, Octave, R, C/C++, bash, ...). In my way of using an IDE, compiling and building is purely instrumental in running calculations after editing a source code, and not an area of investigation in and of itself. I might just play around with a couple of optimization flag.

I have eyed up two related IDEs Eclipse and LiClipse because of their GUI support. Either website naturally praises its own strong points. In another postpost EMACS has been recommended.

I would rather have a feel of where IDEs are expected to touch their limits --- which I find more useful to anticipate the long-term pros and cons. Such 'limits' could result from (arbitrary order)

  • performance (sluggish management of views and windows)
  • scarcity/superabundance of options and information (the tree-and-wood effect for the novice)
  • steep learning curves to navigate content and select actions
  • lack of support for features that are not needed for 'Hallo World' programs but normally turn out to be pretty essential when the task size increases.

Any recommendations/words of caution in that respect?

Comparison Liclipse Scope of IDEs for lightweight compiling and Eclipsebuilding tasks

In which practical respects do the Eclipse and LiClipse IDEs differ from each another?

Either website naturally praises its own strong points. I would rather have a feel of where either piece of software is expected to touch its limits --- which I find more useful to anticipate the long-term pros and cons.
