When you're trying to attract developers, "get the job done" doesn't cut it.
I'm not a big fan of Xcode and Eclipse, but they meet my functional requirements without hoop-jumping.
- dpark 15y agoWhen you're talking about "necessary" features, "get the job done" very much does cut it. Now, if you want to talk about nice-to-haves and how great it is to have integrated source code management and whatever, that's fine. But "necessary to get any real work done" is a rather large overstatement. Also, I'm surprised you're comparing Eclipse to Visual Studio. I've always found Eclipse unpleasant, to the point that I favor a text editor and the command line. I'd much rather use VS Express than Eclipse.
