TL;DR: Author doesn't like the new look of Eclipse's rewrite and therefore, without further evidence, claims it's dead. There's really not more than incomplete opinion in this article. There might be a real discussion here, though. E.g. as far as I know anybody who ever tried IntelliJ loved it so much that he never wanted to switch back to Eclipse. In the circle around me, 100% of people. Other people may see different outcomes. But still both Eclipse and IntelliJ where both kind of considered leaders in the Java IDE market for a long time. So it might be really interesting to discuss the strenghts and weaknesses of both. Also a good discussion could be had how the path to Eclipse 4 developed and how things might've been done differently. That would require analysing other IDEs like the Microsoft's as well. So, you know. Quite a wasted opportunity, right here. If someone reads this and felt like upvoting, could you put into a few sentences why?
