I bet you're also at a loss as to why manufactures make and stores sell foods that you don't like or parts for cars that you don't drive or greeting cards and paraphernalia for holidays that you don't observe, or why television stations broadcast programs that you don't watch. Because, obviously, the whole world revolves around you and what you're familiar with, and if *you* don't understand why anyone uses anything you don't use or does anything differently from the way you do it, well, then, you're at a TOTAL loss because you just can't comprehend it.

I wrote that post believing that you could (still) not use the express editions commercially. Please see my previous post. I stand however corrected now.

Obviously they code on Linux. x86-64 is by far the most used processor architecture. Many languages. I would consider the 3 biggest to be: PHP C Java but C++, Python, Perl, Ruby etc. are also used. There are even a few that use C# via the Mono project. Emacs, vim, Eclipse etc. are used for development. > I code in C#, have done Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, ADO.NET, > ASP.NET and some VB and Access dB programming, though I prefer > ADO.NET.

And unless the language is extremely portable then it is nice to develop on the same platform as the code will be deployed on. > And what language would you use in Linux? C? C++? Why?

Most IDE's except Microsofts are available for Linux. > I would even argue perhaps that Linux coding is not serious coding, No. You are just ignorant. Arne

If the programming language is C#. Which is rarely the case for Linux code. Arne
