wha开发者_StackOverflow中文版t is the importance of the IDE(Integrated development environment) when we develop enterprise applications.

Thank in advance!

An IDE brings together a number of different applications that are needed for rapid development, some IDEs provide more facilities than others.

• Text/Code editor
• Compiler integration
• Debugger integration
• Code completion/snippets
• GUI editor
• Test suite integration
• Source control integration

This is important not only for enterprise application development, but is useful for a single developer as well.

The answer is "it depends" - on the people, the environment, languages and culture.

The IDE Divide

I use Vim and the OS is my IDE: Linux is "integrated" enough, and I can swap any component I want when I find better ones.

But I suppose this is true only for some definition of "enterprise". Some might say I'll never write a real enterprise-y application, and I'm fine with that.
