As code size and complexity increases, each of these tasks (and others) becomes
more arduous, especially when using only command-line tools. While numerous tools
exist to integrate and accelerate the steps above (build scripts and make files, for
example), the dominant paradigm today streamlines development by integrating the
edit/compile/debug cycle (and other steps) through a point-and-click graphical user
interface — an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
In line with global trends, the democratic Great Indian Developer Awards Season III
shortlist votes (see pie diagram representation below from a sum total of 1,16,700
votes that were received in the shortlist stage) indicate that almost 100 percent of all
Microsoft Windows application development occurs in Visual Studio and related IDEs.
The majority of Java applications development is IDE-based, thanks to tools from IBM,
Symantec, Borland, and others. Most modern Web programming development
leverages IDEs especially on the Adobe Flash and Flex builder platforms. In the
embedded world, systems and firmware developers still prefer command-line
interfaces, especially for embedded Linux development. IDEs are however, preferred
for SoC code development in conjunction with verification and co-design paradigms.

Saltmarch Media's annual Great Indian Developer Awards honors software products
across 12 categories, based on their productivity, innovation excellence, universal
usefulness, simplicity, functionality and most importantly on the ground feedback
from India’s software developer ecosystem. In the Development Environment
Category, the final shortlist consists of IBM’s Rational Application Developer;
Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2010; Adobe’s Flex Builder; Popular open-source IDE –
Eclipse and Microsoft’s Expression Studio. Oracle’s JBuilder was the first IDE to win
this award in 2008 followed by Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2008 in the 2009 chapter of
the same awards.
