I don't want icons - I want a piece of text which says what it is.
Only Icons I need to know are compile, run, link, search, search & replace.

Any other piece of software is occasional so need to know what an option is.

 

Unfortunately those simple compiler days are over..

in a multiple developer, development environment you spend more time on the libraries, settings,overridings  than the function code itself..

Well we are looking at C++ for the next generation, I have played with the IDE, not too bad, but it was an oldish version.

My only issue with CAVO is the flakey SuppRepository.

So using the ribbon bar for occasional users like you and I makes it so much easier , particularly as every icon has a tooltip

Too slow - just want a thing to change fonts, a file, print, a file save, if it needs tooltips it is not clear enough

Common icons are no different to every other app, only icon slightly bigger.  Crickey, if I can use it, anyone can...

Problem is, the stuff you need once in a blue moon, which you can vaguely remember is in a certain menu, you haven't got a hope of finding anymore, especially if Word has read your mind incorrectly and decided you don't need it and hidden it somewhere even more obscure.

I'll give myself an easier life next time - something like Latex and VI perhaps.

I get quite excitable over vi

Best to run it when logged-in remotely, so the machine is not in sammy-ing distance IMHO.

Nice thing about word 2007 is the customisable (?) tool bar .. stick what you use regularly in that and it runs a dream ... especially with windows 7
