I can't disagree. The DEC development environment was definitely the best
overall development environment it has ever been my pleasure to use.

I think it was something like "DEC SCA" (source code analizer?).

Well, at the time I was working on the fastest VMS systems available. We had
some highly unrealistic speed requirements, and money was no object. We had a
network of about 8 Vax Clusters each with two Vaxen and a shadow disk (to
make up the quoroum if one Vax died). Each Vax had two processors. The
developers each had their own DECstation, which was served off one of two of
the clusters. Because nature of the work I was doing, I usually had an entire
cluster to myself.

SCA was just  s l o w.

That was 9 years ago, so I'm sure things improved. But at the time this was
just about the fastest (DEC) setup around.
