Yeh, If I was contracting I would probably do that too but on a salary its kind of hard to justify (well maybe not to myself but the wife wouldnt be too impressed) when its a huge percentage of your monthly paycheque and its not going to repay itself (at least not directly).
Of course I could probably get it for $8 from the nearest pasar malam, but I really dont like using dodgy stuff. Oh well. I made the switch to Eclipse not long ago and am finding it pretty cool so far. Maybe Ill give NetBeans a go in a few months. -----Original Message----- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 18 June 2003 18:59 To: Struts Developers List Subject: Re: [OT] IDEA was "Struts/.NET (was JavaPro)" Andrew Hill wrote: > 300 Is it? > I thought it was $460++ USD for a single developer??? - way more than > my budget runs to :-( Compared to something like Visual Studio, it's still a bargain =:0) How times have changed! In decades past, I can remember paying like a thousand bucks for IDEs that weren't nearly as good (but still worth it). Since I bill clients for my time, I can't afford to use anything less than the best.
