IBM's IDE. Surpasses other so-called development environments by doing most the things you want it to. And is also reasonably stable.
Reasonably stable, you say? Well, that's just tremendous!

VisualAge Drag-and-drop and other ease-of-use addons are provided by the VA Assist product: www.instantiations.com/assist - looks good so far, though NT blue-screened once I don't think it was VisualAge related - PaulS
Well, I will give it a glowing recommendation. Been using it since beta stages, and don't know how I ever lived without out it. Given that it is free to try and it uninstalls cleanly with ease, there is no reason, IMO, not to try it. - Eric Rizzo
There is a VAJ FAQ maintained at www.jguru.com/faq/VAJ
Lots of common questions answered, for both newbies and experienced users.
If you're using VisualAge on NT, specifically on an NTFS partition, PaulS heartilly recommends you compress your repository directory. This seems to improve things dramatically. Backup first.
