Re: Does anyone use an IDE on RHEL anyway?
There are some desktop products which are "supported" only on RHEL so you have no choice but to use a fully blown UI.
In one of my past lives while I was still sysadminning, I had to rip out and replace with RHEL a perfectly working Debian setup which was honed to perfection and aligned exactly to our development process as a result of 5 years of work.
All of that because of an utter POS IDE by one well known embedded software vendor. The POS worked perfectly fine on Debian by the way, but the vendor refused to support both the POS and the POS code it generated.
