New black and white Visual Studio 2011

Maybe you should have built SKA in C++, then you could use GCC and emacs and be safe from such hard concepts.

Maybe I know better what technology to use for SKA?

Just saying like.

You might know the better technology, but you seem to have a lot of difficulty using the tools.

I read it as a complaint about change for the sake of change. Most developers simply want their tools they use to work the way they used to. Why do you think VI and emacs remain so popular.

Everyone seems to be moving to dark themes nowadays. I've no idea why, but I cannot say I like it.

Linky for your Sinofsky comment? I don't fancy searching through 20+ pages of comments to find it.

I've done it myself recently, it's to do with the normal white background with black text. having a dark background with light text is easier on the eyes.

I wish I'd changed years ago!

Mine is similar to this screenshot

Well it mentions the changes (for example) gain you ~3 lines of code viewable on screen, and nowhere does it say they are just "to look nice".

Outside unix/linux, they don't. And that is a whole different world, linux devs are about 20 years behind the rest of us.

The better solution is to buy a bigger screen with a high resolution. ~3 lines of code doesn't matter on a 1920x1280 screen.

Sure it does. Vertical space is always at a premium, the moment you split your view to show two code panes you start to be low on space.

I use vi (actually vim) on windows all the time. If you know how to use it it's a very useful tool. The search and replace functionality is second to none.

Enquiring minds wish to know

"increase the energy levels" by using ALL CAPS…" seriously?

WILL IT SUPPORT COBOL AND FORTRAN IV?
