- What I have experienced is that after a relatively short period of time
- (something like a few weeks), most of my Ada programmers turn off the
- interactive or incremental formatting capabilities in their environments.
- The programmers usually say that they find the auto-formatting to be
- intrusive and disrupts their "creative" flow. Note that the programmers
- were of varying levels of experience, from little to several years (or
- programming Ada).
-
- This is just my experience, no flames please.
