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.

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. (Least not and keep a straight face on Sunday!)
