There is one thing in Visual Fortran (at the time it was Digital/Compaq Visual Fortran 6.x) that I miss : array explorer. I do not know if it survived in Intel Visual Fortran.But what is it that Visual Studio provides that Eclipse cannot? It was a very cool (and useful !) utility that allowed you to graph (2D or 3D graphs) the content of arrays or section of arrays, while debugging. Another thing that was in my opinion better is the visual implementation of the debugger : it was easier to follow the content of a variable (either in a window as in photran/CDT) or by just clicking on it. However, eclipse/CDT/photran/PTP has advantages over CVF 6.x : same interface on every system, much better integration with standard makefiles, the editor is, at least, as good, refactoring, (price ;-) !). PTP itself had no equivalent in CVF. However, I still have to make changes in the preferences of a project when I transfer it from Linux to Windows or vice-versa (but maybe it is because I do not know how to configure it properly) Bottom line is that I now use photran (and try from time to time to use PTP) => a big thanks to the development team ! --
