Not random folks, but colleagues (this was when I was working at 
university).  And not the tradition of folks wanting to work, but the 
tradition of compilers.

What about Fortran 2018?

I've used LSEDIT a few times.  I have a huge number of macros in EDT by 
now.  I tend to have code in one window, make changes, save them (yes, 
via an EDT macro), compile, link, and run in another, and so on.  Enough 
for me.
