At this point, I could not program without Eclipse and anything else will have to play catch up in a big way. Before Eclipse, I tried Netbeans and a bunch of other IDE’s, and Eclipse was the closest one to actually making me productive without too much overhead of working inside a framework. If that even factored in 1% in Sun’s decision not to support Eclipse, then they are out of their minds. The first thing is that the comment about the name “Eclipse” and how Sun was apparently bothered by it at one point is just rediculous.
