I'm pleased to announce the immediate (once the FTP mirrors sync up :-)
availability of the latest stable release of The GNOME Desktop and
developer platform, 2.8.2.

This release shows signs of the blood sweat and tears of many
maintainers, developers, bug triagers and reporters, translators,
documenters and probably many more. There are countless fixes and
improvements in this release.

One word...

...vim.

I've never understood people who go on at length about how important a big fancy IDE is. Barring any sort of autocreate wizards (ie, autotools), I've been able to match just about any functionality that people can throw at me from Eclipse/Anjuta/MSVS.NET/the gang, with plain old vim. The only disadvantage I can think of is the steep learning curve, but if the person is trying to code something it's assumed that they're reasonably intelligent to begin with.
