The spoof of the day. There are plenty of industrial adopters of
the Platform listed on the NetBeans website, so you could probably
just take the time to have a look before writing nonsense.
I didn't really expect a different reaction from a member of the
"NetBeans Dream Team" :-)
Cedric, the NBDT is made by people not paid by Oracle. It is made by
people that have a pre-existing interest in the technology because they
work on it, and as I said there's plenty of large corporate customers
working on it. BTW, the NBDT is the representative of the open source
community interested in the NetBeans Platform. Is this the kind of
respect that Google reserves for open source communities? :-)
Re: "successful technologies don't list customers", this sounds as
nonsense. I understand that the current legal war makes probably Google
personnel to speak politics instead of engineering, and that Google
employees are somewhat limited on what they can say, so I won't replicate.
For what concerns the reference "in my experience", as quoted by Ricky,
that's don't make sense too. I could easily say and prove that e.g. in
Italy almost nobody knows Android, but this holds true only in a
specific place and time, and doesn't have any value for inferring about
Android popularity in other parts of the world, or in Italy's future.
