I think any other platform would have been equally good, provided it's portable enough for the intended consumers and gives the creator the best productivity. And Qt is also an excellent choice. WUDSN IDE is in Eclipse simply because I spent 7 years Java development as my profession before I started.
Yeah I meant NES emulators.JAC! wrote:Actually there are some (e.g. VICE)thefox wrote:Maybe some day we'll see debugging support through sockets? (At the moment there are no emulators that expose debugging through sockets, but that could change.)
I didn't mean to single out Eclipse, I'm sure there are other mature IDEs out there that could've been used as well (Visual Studio comes to mind...). All I'm saying is doing it like this is good because there's a stable platform to build on, and every wheel doesn't have to be reinvented.cpow wrote:Why?

Not that there's anything wrong with building from ground up, like you're doing.
