FrozenVoid's (lack of) IDE

Reducing typing is a noble goal, but any programmer worth his salt would write a decent .vimrc instead of abusing the cpp.

* All your nifty macros take up half of the code you produce
* These macros need to be lifted from project to project
* You end up producing code that is hard to understand for people who haven't memorized your macros.
* You can't use the macros while hacking *any* OSS

in short: learn to use a decent IDE and all these cpp abuses become obsolete. have a nice day.

the solutions would be to write a c preprocessor that would only expand frozen void's macros, as well as properly indent the code. Then the expanded version could be submitted. If frozenvoid was to work on other people's code, or review changes people have made to his expanded code, then he could first unmacroexpand the source code with a c reprocessor that would factor normal code into frozen void's macros.
