Revision history [back]

A lot of ROS users use Sublime Text to write code (although some IDE's do work with ROS, Eclipse and QT being two of the most notable).

I've found that the way ROS works makes an IDE's debugger less effective. I just use ROS tools like:
rosnode
rostopic
rossrv
rviz
rqt_image_viewer
etc...

In order to do my debugging.
