Abstract: The concept Programming Environment is recognized and used in the research community. For some years it has appeared in titles of conferences, workshops, textbooks, and research reports. There is an increasing number of researchers sailing under this flag, meeting to exchange ideas and experiences. In software industry, on the other hand, the problems, methods, and tools are grouped differently. Software Engineering Environments, life cycle support, configuration management, etc., are terms frequently used. The grouping of problems and methods in industry does not match the grouping of ideas and results on the different views, their backgrounds and their meanings.
