Everyone blames the Eclipse foundation, but really they set the bar high. The only IDE to rise above it has been Intellij imo.
They missed the boat on JS. That was a big issue for me as a full stack dev. When it became clear they were going to drag their feet forever on updates to JSDT and not support the plethora of languages that suddenly seemed to come from nowhere, I had to bite the bullet and go to Intellij.
Eclipse is like a nice house in a neighborhood that needs some serious renovations. Intellij is move in ready with gleaming countertops, fresh floors, new appliances etc. Can you tell I'm house hunting?
- rsynnott 8y agoNetbeans was also a lot better than Eclipse IMO (though worse than IntelliJ). For Java and friends, anyway; I’ve never really used any of them but IntelliJ for non-JVM stuff.
