What is this "Workbench" thing people keep talking about? :o)

It's probably an obvious sign of my old-fartness (what with being a
computer-y type back in the 70's when compucolors were the go, and
various PDP 11-whatsits and DEC-whosamis in the 80's) but I've never
warmed either to the idea or execution of IDEs.

I have always found them to be extremely limiting compared to just using
the various tools as needed and are supplied on a regular system. And,
when they don't work right you've got an additional degree of freedom in
your bug detection, to say nothing of the time wasted spent figuring out
why feature X of the IDE isn't working right (probably because your Java
RTE install is busted, or old, or from the wrong vendor...).

But that's just me. I guess I'm a dyed-in-the-wool command line guy (or
is *nix my IDE? Hmmm....)

cheers,

paulv
