Re: AfxGetApp() returns NULL

A decent editor handles the continuation-of-parameters so easily that it
doesn't even
require work or thought. It just gets it right. My editor gets those
parameters lined up
in a column, and all I have to do is type each one, and hit <enter>! I
don't need to hit
a tab key at all. It gets switch statements, case statements, if/else
statements, etc.
indented perfectly with no use of the tab key at all! I only have to type
a unique part
of a class name and it auto-completes the class name. It creates function
headers
automatically, always gets the indentation right, gives me a browser that
finds
definitions quickly, handles many different languages including Perl, awk,
HTML, XML,
etc., handles my change notifications in a single command (two
keystrokes), does
fully-interactive paired-bracket matching, can be used without a mouse if
I choose to (for
a 70wpm typist this is important), switches views and buffers quickly, has
abbreviation
mechanisms that work very well indeed, the list goes on and on. I can
edit many different
kinds of files interchangeably at the same time, keep well over a thousand
files active at
the same time, compare two files incrementally with a single two-character
command, run
command shells, EDIT THE OUTPUT WINDOWS, edit file lists, buffer lists,
etc, take a block
of text and sort it (for example to alphabetize a list of value names),
flow paragraphs in
comments, and that's just the superficial stuff! Most of that doesn't
exist in VS at all,
and this is essentially out-of-the-box for a real product. The latest
version can also
handle Unicode files. Check out Epsilon, www.lugaru.com, to see what a
REAL editor looks
like. That's reality. All I want is the complete power of Epsilon in the
VS editor. It
isn't there, and no amount of VS extension programming will give me what
Epsilon gives me
with vastly less effort.
