I enjoyed the interview as well and wasn't as irritated as some about the IBM/eclipse guys even though I'll probably never use their tools.
One thing to keep in mind with JDeveloper is that if you use JDeveloper to develop a project that is deployed to a non Oracle application server, you will have to pay a steep licensing cost if you use some parts of ADF. I think ADF Faces (or struts or swing ADF things) are ok, but for sure the BC (business components) and maybe other stuff would require the licensing. ADF is very complicated (to me anyway) and it confuses me that you can use one ADF technology for free but not another one. Possibly with the new JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.0, really) if you start it in the Java EE Edition Role, you will be safe to deploy to a non-Oracle application server. I think it's great what Oracle has done with trinidad and toplink.
