I personally would rather have something than nothing. I have used
JBuilder since 1.0 and have always wanted to get it for Linux. Now
the only app I like to use that is not under Linux is Visio. Serious
developers should probably not have machines with less than 128MB
anymore. It is better to buy a lesser CPU and have more memory when
doing development.
