My favorite complaint has to be #1, the "does not have native look and feel", though. I personally /really /dislike the curvy tabs in Eclipse and various look-and-feel choices around them, but overall unless the UI has something fundamentally wrong (e.g. giant buttons that gobble all my screen real estate or utterly confusing dialogs or UI feedback) I have never seen the point in getting so up-tight about look-and-feel, font smoothing, etc. Barring such fundamental errors, this stuff is utterly subjective and should be utterly irrelevant if the tool does the job. If two tools do the job equally well, then sure pick the one that suits your look-and-feel fancy (but be ready to switch to another tool to work more closely with those who feel differently). If not, then focus on how the tools do the job and forget this irrelevant, subjective cruft. -- Jess Holle P.S. I did loads of development on green or orange screened dumb terminals in college. By comparison to this modern IDEs and modern screen sizes are a miraculous improvement and thus I generally can't complain about them on the basis of look-and-feel. Those who gripe about today's IDE's look-and-feels as really impacting their productivity or happiness are thus ninnies in my book :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
