I agree, I put his words in wrong context. He complained about any IDE, and
I tried to propose the way to "minimize damage" of IDEs, which is not the
same. My apology to Mr. Sugar.

It would be nice, but I'm not sure if it is possible in general case. If we
could have standard, such things wouldn't be a problem. But standard should
have to enable emacs style changing of source files that belong to project.
And here we go in circles...

I'll investigate this story a bit deeper and I'll post my findings.
