there is some small difference between some ide and text editors specialy for Emacs and VI
by the way on the linux platform some pure text editors like kate/kwrite could be added because they have an exelent syntax highlighting and you just need to type a command in a console for launching or compiling your program <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.27.16.225|85.27.16.225]] ([[User talk:85.27.16.225|talk]]) 00:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Cost format ==
The cost field is currently the messiest part of the table. It's worth noting that vendors often have big charts of their own ''just'' to compare various editions and their prices, so it may be impossible to cleanup the table and preserve all of the information. Here are some suggestions, please comment on them or propose your own.
*Show single price if the product only has one edition or price. Otherwise use "variable" and have the reader perform further research on his own. This is ideally clean, but loses some information.
*Reduce pricing information to a range. This eliminates the price-per-edition messiness while retaining some idea of the possible price ranges. If a company offers a free version and an enterprise edition, and intermediate versions in between, this will all be rolled into a single range of "$0 - $10,000".
*Remove cost field entirely. This places the responsibility of doing cost research on the reader. However, you can still kind of distinguish price range by looking at the license type. For example, open source licenses usually imply cost-free software.
