Remember when you had to go to a store to plunk down some serious cash to get something like a C compiler and an editor?
I wondered if that was still true so I checked Microcenter's site. The closest approximation was some web design software.
EMACS came out in 1976
gcc came out in 1987
Hey everybody, raise your hand if ran emacs or gcc on a home computer, even as late as 1987 ...
I didn't run gcc on a home computer until 1991, on an Amiga 3000UX. Although in 1987 I lived in a house with a dedicated terminal which we used to access our UNIX boxen at U Mich.
EMACS, no I'm an ed/ex/vi/vim person.
