I
got a letter from Rob
Demmer the other day, this time offering a proper applogy for our
e-mail flame out. I don't feel the same need to post that e-mail to my blog
as I did last time, since I will categorically say it was suffucent, apology
accepted. And to imply I was blameless would be wrong, after all Rob didn't
make me post it to my blog. But it actually would up being
for the better, without that experience I doubt that I would have given Eclipse
as
much consideration as I did, and now I feel more confident in my
choice of IDEs. The only advantage that Eclipse has left is "Dating the
New Girl" (more on the bug attitude later). The biggest (and for my work
most significant) disadvantage Eclipse has is the total lack of a Swing or
SWT GUI designer, coding stuff like that just simply takes too much time.
I'm not even going to look again until Eclipse has something that can compete
with NetBeans offering. |
