[mythtv] Best editor IDE for Develop mythtv

After 40 years of developing I have tried a lot of editors.

The worst is paper tape to paper tape. You copy the whole 
progam source on a flex-o-writer stopping at just the right 
place to type insertions and skipping past deletions by 
turning a small knob on the paper tape reader to advance 
the input tape past the characters to remove.

The almost as bad is IBM punch cards.

I like emacs. I am biased because I spent 5 years 
programming a Symbolics Lisp Machine.

I must admit that I have used Microsoft's IDE and found it 
very productive in that environment.

I was not able to use Kdevelop for Linux driver development. 
I found emacs best for me. I have not tried to use Kdevelop 
for MythTV yet. I think it may have potential for 
applications development.
