Eclipse feels like the Soviet Union - well planned, poorly executed, run by a small klan of cigar smoking bureaucrats. Lots of folks are moving to NetBeans, I'm feeling a motivation to do the same. Very sad, given where Eclipse started.

NetBeans must be running scared - every time there is an article about Eclipse, up pops a troll to declare that Eclipse is dead and everyone should move to NetBeans.

Yes, the Eclipse trolls are out in force again. <sigh>

Just like JBuilder, CodeWarrior tools are moving to the Eclipse platform see

I need to have a go at this Eclipse bashing lark. How does it go again? Right. (Clears throat):

"Many, many vendors adopt Eclipse technology, more and more people build RCP products based on Eclipse, and on the desktop it utilises native widgets...so... therefore... Eclipse sucks. Oh yes, and I'm moving to Netbeans... so there!"

(Oh, and the Eclipse foundation smells of poo).
