"Whatver gets the job done is good". What works, or doesn't, for one person does not indicate the suitability for others. Personally, I grabbed the Fedora 19 RPMs for kate, rebuilt them for EL7 and installed them. Works for me for projects more complex than I want to deal with using vim. I am sure it will be relatively as easy to get other IDEs working, too. Also, EPEL and other repos should be coming online before long (if not already), making it even easier for folks to get the environments they like. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?
