Re: easyC vs Hardcoding

This was a concern for earlier versions of easyC slow coding by being stuck in drag and drop mode. But, with Pro you can click on the project tab and create your own C and H files that you can type your own code in just like any other IDE. Plus you can drag blocks into the C code to help with formating of the WPILIB functions.

It takes a very, very long time to make a simple change to a bunch of similar chunks of code in easyC. In a text editor, a find/replace is often sufficient, and when it isn't, moving a cursor and typing a few characters is a lot faster than mousing and clicking and mousing and clicking and typing and mousing and clicking for every line to be changed.
