Is this really a concern? It's like blaming C for needing an editor, what's the big deal about using an IDE for some languages. It makes you more productive and they are not heavyweight by modern laptop standards.
And even without an IDE, it's hardly that difficult to use namespaces. As has been mentioned here already, they solve a real problem, are necessary, and are much better than not having them.
This just seems like ignorant hating.
- pi18n 14y agoYou are assuming the IDE makes everyone more productive. For some people that is absolutely not the case. And the idea that you need to use an IDE for a bunch of boilerplate is abhorrent to them. It's hard for a Java zealot to understand this position for some reason.
- AlisdairO 14y agoIt's pretty hard to imagine an IDE not making a Java programmer more productive. The difference is truly astounding.
