For me, the one thing that .NET has going for it is Visual Studio. Every time I've tried returning to Java, it is not the language but the dev environment that has me running away in horror.
- frik 10y agoJetBrains IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans are all pretty good and comparable IDEs. Visual Studio has no unique selling point per se, if you are into C# its a very good choice eecially with the Resharper plugin (some of its features got cloned).
- shouldbworking 10y agoEclipse is a lot better than it used to be but still has hallmarks of open source applications (confusing UI, giant feature pile). IntelliJ is great but it costs money for the full version. It's closer to a Visual Studio style experience.
- rat87 10y agoreally? Cause VS is good with resharper but without it? I haven't used it much for java but Intellij is excellent, hell even eclipse was pretty good. I'd say in many ways dev tools seem better for java, the thing .net has going for it is that C# is a much nicer language.
