Subject: [jdjlist] RE: Which IDE to use
Bah, editor discussions are so stupid.
All of them.
Even if you recommend IDEA or emacs, you're wrong. An editor is a personal
choice. If you're the kind of person who wants to write code, you can do
so with a chisel and a stone tablet. If you're the kind of moron who needs
code written for you, JBuilder's easy to find... and if JBuilder scares
you, there's netbeans, forte, sun forty-three-point-seven. If you're a
student, JCreator awaits to screw you up as much as it can.
Face it, you can recommend editors all you like, but it's a preferential
thing, like saying "Green is the best colour." (By the way, green IS the
best colour.) What needs to happen is for someone to make a bullet-list of
features, with comments on features. The danger of bullet lists, of
course, is that they encourage featuritis on the part of the editor
authors. ("Now slices! And dices! Does Netbeans do this yet? We think
not! ... and if you know anything about advertising, we just said Netbeans
was better than us. Oops.")
Ah, to have a world where idiots were muted...
