>but  I always wonder... WHAT MORE CAN PEOPLE ASK FOR FROM AN
IDE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

 

That it be fast, efficient, easily customizable and easily scriptable,
and work the way I do (not the other way around).

 

I want my cake, I want to eat it, and I'd like that served on fine china
with linen napkins and a hot coffee, black with sugar please.

MyEclipse.

 

I have tried IDEA 2 years back and i was using it for like 3 to 4
months....later i found eclipse

and i was able to do everything i did with IDEA in MyEclipse plus tons
of plugins......

May be some people like the interface of IDEA  but it's very much ok for
the price....

 

but  I always wonder... WHAT MORE CAN PEOPLE ASK FOR FROM AN
IDE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..apart from specific capabilities....Can it code
business logic??..;-))

 

I haven't tried the recent ones of IDEA though.....Can anyone list few
things which are better in IDEA as compared to Myeclipse.

 

and one more thing...last but not least..

I love EDITPLUS as a plain text editor...may be because i learnt java in
that piece of software..:-))

Sooooo much light....but very capable of handling large files...can
connect to FTP...

edit remote files..macros and lot...I never use VI...instead i connect
to the box and edit the files...whenever i have FTP access to the box..

 

Regs,

Shan

I used Sun's Studio One tool which is based on NetBeans 5.0. The GUI
creation was nice  but I have to admit that the whole .Net IDE market
has the monopoly on good UI creation.

Take a look at the free IDE:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx

Net Beans is getting better though at the web based GUI design. This
is an area where the Java community could surpase the .Net community
if we tried.
