- lovemenot 7y agoAny brand is toxic when the market deems your product overwhelmingly in a negative light. Not saying that is or isn't the case wrt Eclipse.
- timw4mail 7y agoSlow, memory hogging, and not that useful.
- gowld 7y agoModern devs prefer that to be a feature their language (JS), not their IDE.
- happymellon 7y agoAnd yet VSCode...
- sigzero 7y agoI don't find the latest Intellij any faster. I currently have the latest of both installed.
- tempodox 7y agoNo soap, both are built in Java.
- Kihashi 7y ago> how can an IDE be toxic If people associate the IDE with negative emotions, which a lot of people have for eclipse, I'd say it's fair to call it toxic.
- jtdev 7y agoIf the IDE broadly reduces the efficiency of developers, and causes developers to waste time contorting their workflow to the IDEs poorly conceived approach to doing things - especially in relation to other IDEs... I'd say that's toxic for the Eclipse brand.
