True, but would you rather not have it at all?
- gaustin 16y agoDefinitely. Unusable software is as bad as none at all. Unless someone is paying well, I'm not going to deal with the issues.
- jm4 16y agoUmm... Just don't use it. No one is forcing you to. Some of us are happy to have it, even if it does have some quirks.
- _delirium 16y agoWell, if you have a choice, sure. But if you're working in a team where everyone uses Eclipse, it's really nice to have the ability to run Eclipse.
- nikster 16y agoEclipse should be fine since it's using their own SWT for the GUI. They're not using Swing. Iv'e developed Swing for 10 years and I think it's basically botched. Sun had no clue about UI development, and Sing is the expression of that. Compared with the UI frameworks on OS X it's like night and day. But I digress - I think SWT is a much better approach in any case.
- rmc 16y agoI'd rather not have it. I tried running OpenOffice under X11, and the fact that I couldn't copy and paste text around the place did my head in, and I couldn't use it.
