I'm not sure I said exactly that, although I do agree
that for most of my needs the IDL 6.4 Workbench was
nearly perfect. It was certainly stable and it did
most of what I needed it to do.
But, I really don't mind the newer Eclipse Workbench.
And I LOVE that I can work on LINUX machines and feel
completely and utterly comfortable in IDL. *That* didn't
used to happen!
Of course, if it worked properly, it would be an
advantage. I still often work in IDL 7 for this
very reason. But, I guess 6.4 is in the distant past.
Cheers,
David
