Eclipse is crap. The Workspace paradigm is awkward, their project management scheme is opaque and defeats sharing via source control, their auto-completion and intellisense is weak sauce. Their text editor is sub-standard and hard to configure.<BR/><BR/>Sure it has lots of "features," and maybe for java developers who already use it, it's great, but I cannot recommend against it enough. No-one in charge of that project cares about friendliness, intuitiveness, or portability. The only thing it has going for it is a billion plugins, which frustrates me immensely, because the core text editing and project management is so devotedly mediocre.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967547718472192519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707739904261330151.post-58803699226838733652008-06-30T10:40:00.000-07:002008-06-30T10:40:00.000-07:00Does Eclipse do this?
