Most of our developers walk around with MacBook Pros. (The suites mostly carry ThinkPads :) Some developers also have a desktop box running Linux or Windows, depending on their preference and which tools they need. So in the end, most of the Java coding is happening with Eclipse or IntelliJ on Mac, with Linux and Windows in close second. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
