Seriously? You're paranoid about letting go of your card for the 3 seconds it takes to enter the PIN? The card remains right in front of you, no more than 4cm away from your hands...

Where do you live where stealing cards at the payment terminal in full public view is so frequent that you feel a need to be paranoid about it? I've never even heard of such a case of theft/assault.

No, the real problem with the chip system is that when you put the card in the holder, the security code is facing away from you, visible to the store clerk...

Denmark already has a similar thing. We can perform most actions dealing with the government online, and we even get a gratis certificate for digital signing and encryption of emails. I haven't had to go to a government or city office in years.

Tabs on top is horrible...one of the key reasons I dislike Google Chrome.

I have looked around. I've tried them all, pretty much, on both Windows and Linux. Only one I haven't tried is XCode on OS X, but I've heard good things about that. I've dearly wanted to find a single powerful IDE that I could use cross-platform, but none exists.

Of all the IDEs I've tried on various platforms, none come even close to VC++ Express. A huge amount of that rests in the debugger alone...gdb and IDEs that use gdb are hilariously underpowered compared to VC++'s integrated debugger.

So for all development and debugging, I use VC++. For profiling and sanity checking, I use gprof/gcov/valgrind. Best tools for their job.

I'd even say Visual Studio is the best, by a very long mile. There just isn't anything as powerful in a single cohesive package. It is one of the main reasons I develop primarily on Windows (the other being gaming). And don't let anyone fool you into thinking that VC++ is evil...it doesn't lock you into making Windows only programs; you have to lock yourself in, if that's your desire.

You could get similar results with cobbling together various tools, but why bother when VC++ Express already Just Works...

That said, the final pin to make VC++ Express perfect would be some Valgrind functionality.
