JetBrains vendor lock-in
- Randgalt 11y agoThis is FUD. So what if JetBrains is changing their pricing model? The community edition is still free.
- wink 11y agoIf only there was a compelling reason to use eclipse... I was quite an active proponent of eclipse a few years ago and even implemented a small plugin, which was quite a hassle to be honest, but I was happy with eclipse. Then came a time when eclipse didn't do a single thing better than IDEA. Especially PHPStorm beat eclipse's PDT by miles, and I wasn't even doing heavy Java work back then. So the only advantage was the price. I haven't looked at eclipse in quite a while - I have an IDEA license I don't have to pay for, so even this is gone. So I wish eclipse all the best, but I didn't have the impression that contributing was in any way easy back then, maybe it is now. And I also hope the quality of the language plugins picks up - but for now I don't see myself using it in the near future.
