Not so, Harvey. If you have a really big project in Eifel, Smalltalk
or C++ you really have to have a class browser, and it helps to have
an incremental Make tool and a code repository or database that allows
you to define arbitrary snippets of code as objects for configuration
control. Anyone who has used the really good tool that do this, like
ENVY, realizes that the classic multiple xterms + emacs + gcc ...
approach has had its day.
