I've had (the misfortune) work in companies where they still use C++ compilers that run under DOS for some applications along side monsters in C#. There's no excuse for it but a lot of places are like that. Slow to change and haphazard in what they adopt and when. Its the availability of skills and the benefits of one language over another that seem to be the biggest drivers.


That is simply said : stone age. Maybe you call it old school/ old 
fashioned.
IMO : Developing this way is nowadays where software becomes more and 
more complex) not good enough.

Status Quo:
So called modern IDE's are allready yesterdays technologie. For sure 
they are not made to handle modern projects.

A D IDE

I, for example, would like to speak with my IDE (voice recognation, and 
text to speach)
I expect rule based suggestions from my IDE. (AI) / programming/ 
datavase/ gui ...

I expect an itelligent Enterprise framework (lib) managed from my IDE.
Let me call it managed Buisiness Objects

I expect *realtime* developer collaboration support from my IDE

I expect a code editor which is able to show me, respective enables me 
to plugin a learning video, a module dependency graph, a math formular, 
some hypertext links , or simply a graphical representation of an algo.
In other word NOT just text.

BUT I have to realize it, nobody is able to convince a command line 
maniac. :)
