ROS developers have developed a great platform for Robotics Programming indeed.
But why is it so hard to make a Graphical User Interface like many other softwares and built-in Eclipse like environment?
And since most of the world use Windows, it is very inconvenient to switch to Ubuntu to use ROS!
From this week's ros-users mailing list:
Personally, I'd go the VM route though. Probably using Vagrant + Virtual Box.
But why is it so hard to make a Graphical User Interface like many other softwares and built-in Eclipse like environment?
If it is not so hard, then you should create one.
Inconvenienced Windows users would sing your praises; high praise indeed!
An viable alternative for the Windows' classrooms enviroment (or for Microsoft Windows OS users) is to use a Ubuntu virtual machine over a Windows OS using Virtual Box. Even virtual machine with ROS installed ready-to-use exists as .ova files for VirtualBox from nootrix http://nootrix.com/software/virtualiz...

"And since most of the world use Windows" I'd love to have a robot that just shuts down from time to time to update or exchange it's OS :) Which problems do you have with a gui? QT is a good option for graphical Interfaces.
