Last July I complained about an annoying Eclipse bug. More than one year is passed, and this bug is not fixed yet.

YAEVIR: Yet Another Eclipse vs. IDEA Rant

Saturday, 25. August 2007, 08:05:13

, , , ...

After a year-long gap, once again I am using Eclipse (this time version 3.3.0) constantly on my laptop and mostly for implementing my university projects. As always, overall it feels good to code in Eclipse. But, still, IDEA feels much much better compared to Eclipse. Eclipse uses some shortcut key combinations that involve numeric pad keys and for a laptop user it is next to useless. Have they ever thought about laptop coders when they have been choosing these shortcut keys? It's been almost six years since Eclipse became open sourced, and still there are no IDEA, NetBeans, or Visual Studio key schemes built into Eclipse.

These small and sometimes trivial issues, combined together, turn into a big heap of issues that always keeps Eclipse behind IDEA. And NetBeans. I have never ever liked NetBeans. Even when it was Forte it sucked bad. I tried NetBeans 6M10 a couple of months ago and though that it had improved a lot, it was still sluggish compared to IDEA and Eclipse. The startup time is improved a lot, it has become more stable, lots of features are added to it, but it is still sluggish and the editor is still premature. And for me, the editor, is the IDE. And NetBeans isn't my IDE of choice.
