What are the most popular IDEs per language? One way to treat this question would be to list one language/IDE pair per answer and let the # of upvotes gauge popularity. |

Why are /// comment blocks important? @John MacIntyre: Yep. I still don't know what that parameter is actually supposed to be... other than not zero. :) |

Why are /// comment blocks important? @John: Not necessarily. Say you have a string parameter. Obviously a non-empty string should be okay... but does it need to be in a particular format? What happens if you do pass in an empty string (or a null)? And so on. As a somewhat related aside, I've also seen a complete aberration -- parameters named in a way that expressed their constraintsm e.g. 'int numNotZero'. |

Why are there so few female programmers? I love the irony of questions like this being "definitively" answered by male programmers. |

Why are /// comment blocks important? Naming is one thing, but listing constraints on parameters or potentially thrown exceptions is still valuable. |

Is the abundance of frameworks dumbing down programmers? @Gratzy: I don't think so. I think the same bad developers would still thrive without frameworks, just in different ways. |
