(I know this debate has been had before, but I'm a new convert to the
 Mac Universe)

Can anyone tell me the relative merits/demerits of Aztec C (or some other
inexpensive development environment) vs. LightSpeed on the Mac ][.

LightSpeed is what everyone seems to recommend, but Aztec says it has a
symbolic debugger (any good? I'm used to codeview on a PC and dbx on UNIX)
make (does LSC have this?) and unlimited data size (this is important as
I hope to port a prolog compiler from UNIX eventually, does LSC let you
have huge memory spaces? - I want to have as much of my 5 megs for heap
as possible)

Thanks,

Mike
