When compile succeeds but there is a runtime error, one can jump from traceback to any of the file and line specified in the traceback. This is *extremely* useful. When one runs the integrated grep over part of the directory tree, one can jump to any of the file/line hits. > - interactive debugger (program stepping, expression & variable > evaluation, breakpoints, watchpoints, macros) [this is why I like perl] > - extensibility to add features (lint or code formatting, special > framework, etc.) > What's the best?
