Re: Cost of RDP

I have to admit that as an IDE/editor, RDP/LPEX is much better than
SEU, but a far cry from Eclipse or Visual Studio.

Lack of refactoring and the requirement to manually refresh the
outline view to get the auto-complete to work are my biggest pet
peeves.

LPEX = "live parsing editor" so why do I have to manually refresh the
outline???  It knows I've just defined a new variable or procedure....

$870 does seem a bit high for what you get...

Personally, I wouldn't think twice about paying $50, or perhaps
$100....any more than that and the wife would have to ok it! ;)
