There is so much about Eclipse that I don't like, but there are still some interesting and useful tools that keep me on-board.
ATL and Xtext have a lot of potential, for instance. Not to mention externally developed projects like Bioclipse and Knime.
It is probably time for a serious fork to illustrate how nice the core platform could be.
- calebmpeterson 15y agoMy day job is writing Eclipse RCP based thick clients. The platform is very nice indeed! JVM (Java in my case :/) + native widgets (fast) + built in update mechanism + robust module system (OSGi) Love or hate Eclipse the IDE, Eclipse the Rich Client Platform is really solid framework for thick clients.
