you're asking 2 questions at once, and this -> "best suited for high end programming needs?" isn't really a good question – Sathya♦ Aug 8 '11 at 7:01
@Sathya : Thanks for the clarification, if I would have known I would have edited the question :) instead of letting being closed...That was bit disappointing...In case I haven't got an answer yet, I would have been forced to ask the same question again with more precise explanation on "high end programming needs" or just forget the question ;) Some courteousness would be of help..Thanks! – Abhishek Aug 8 '11 at 7:11
The faq clearly means shopping recommendations are off-topic and likely to be closed and what sort of questions not to ask. Closing the question isn't the be-all, aned all, you can still edit it and flag for reopening. – Sathya♦ Aug 8 '11 at 7:16
