I don't see Forte leak every when I let it run for a day or so. Its UI is different
but I like it. When I looked at JBuilder I did not really like its project management
UI, so its just a matter of preferences. Now windows 2000 slowly leaks memory
(or one or more of its myriad of services it forces on me) and I have to reboot
to clear this.
Forte is not lightweight though. With all of my source and modules loaded it
has a virtual memory footprint on the order of 100-120Mb, so 256Mb is a minimum
memory requirement and I have 512Mb.
