TorqueDev vs Torsion

#1 TorqueDev is called Codeweaver now. They're both free to use (dunno if Torsion will cost later), so you can try them both yourself. I used Codeweaver originally, but moved to Torsion later because it kept a better updated project tree. However I've run into more random crashing bugs with it than Codeweaver. So yeah, just try them both and see which feels better for you.

#2 I can't see how this is relevant for the SDK, and I would also guess that that would be a personal perference. They do mostly the same, but are different on some areas.

#3 I am already using torision, and pretty comfortable with it. but what does torqueDev/Codeweaver has different. whats the pro and cons. To me Torsion looks like the better app. but the real question is what has its advantage.

#4 I prefer Codeweaver because I like its more advanced code completion and javadoc-like features.

#5 Codeweaver for me ;)

#6 I prefer Codweaver myself. It just felt more stable to me. Really the best thing to do is just download both and try them both out as it really is just a matter of personal preference.

#7 For me, I think Torsion is much better!

#8 Tek0, please explain why its much better then TorqueDev.

#9 I also go with Torsion if I have to chose between the two. But CodeWeaver is more customizable.

#10 Look. They're both free. Try them both and decide yourself, it's not like you have to make any serious commitment to use either.

#11 Codeweaver is by far the more powerful and customizeable of the two. However, there are parts of the interface that feel hacked and counterintuitive. Try 'em both and compare.

#12 I like Torsion better as it feels more 'lightweight' than Codeweaver. Torsion seems to have a smaller memory footprint and the interface just feels 'crisper' to me. They're both excellent editors though.

#13 Ya, after playing around with both. i think TorqueDev/Codeweaver is much better. thanks for all your help.

btw, how do you change pref style later after you selected one.

#14 I tried them both I find that Codeweaver has much greater potential than Torsion. However, it's a half-baked product, very buggy and unstable. Never had crashes with Torsion. With Codeweaver I had one the second time I had put a breakpoint. And, what the heck, is it so difficult to give the focus on the text field when I press ctrl+F for text search??? I don't think so. Until Codeweaver gets more mature, I will stick to Torsion. It's not as pretty-looking and has fewer feature (search&replace, anyone?) but at least it's rock stable and doesn't get in my way of working.
Just my opinion.

#15 If you are a cross-platform dev, Torsion will have Linux & Mac versions once complete.

#16
