I had a brief look and was somewhat underwhelmed. Some complaints include: <<<<<<
All very valid points, but it's a bit like a skiing expert pointing out the limitations of the snowplough on black slopes. Novice skiers just want to get moving and leave the 'proper technique' stuff till later. Likewise with programming. Sure, I could go spend £50 on a book from Amazon, and once I get serious I may well do that. But in this case all I wanted was something that told me where the compiler was and how to do elementary stuff. And I didn't want to pay for the privilege.
(I suggest you don't look too hard at the insides of my text editor; it probably breaks every guideline in the book.)
