Frankly, that added comfort - being able to look up function parameters, 
go to a corresponding header file, list up callers of the current 
functions, lookup TOSHYP help or do code completion, do a git diff, pull 
or commit, etc., all with a single key stroke - is the main reason for 
me to code on the PC instead of my FireBee. Not (only) raw compiler speed.

I've nailed together myself a pretty comfortable cross compiling setup 
using QtCreator that can do all this and and more, and honestly, I 
simply can't imagine anymore how I was ever able to code anything 
non-trivial on the Atari without this convenience. Signs of getting old 
and lazy, probably ;).
