I don't find this a fair thing to say.
Eclipse was/is de facto the standard IDE for Java and JavaEE development, not to mention it was/is widely used as an IDE for C development. You can still find prebuilt packages [0] that quickly get you off ground. I've built commercial products with Eclipse RAP [1] that are still used today. Eclipselink [2] for persistence is also a great tool. Eclipse EMF [4] for modeling - and I've used that A LOT when building databases and model structures for businesses.
I have since then moved to other languages and tools, but much of today's software was made possible by the Eclipse team. And I thank them for all their great work.

- ksec 7y ago>Eclipse was/is de facto the standard IDE for Java and JavaEE development Was it really de facto? Didn't it lost to Netbeans? I remember there was some rivalry between Netbeans and Eclipse ( along with many other things ) and in the end many sided with Sun ( Netbeans ). But that was a really long time ago so my memory may be a little fuzzy.
- HelloNurse 7y agoNetbeans mostly evaporated along with Sun. In my experience, the only advantage of Netbeans over Eclipse in its heyday was in development of AWT/Swing GUI apps (for which IntelliJ and JBuilder were better options anyway).
