It's unfortunate that the in crowd, armed with mostly FUD and occasional actual arguments, has decided that Eclipse is 'teh sux0rz'. Especially if you want to have firefox open on one screen and your IDE open in another (although, you can open firefox in Eclipse if you haven't the extra screen real estate). But then again, if you're developing and debugging any language 'higher' than c/c++ these days, your sanity will depend on having a fairly beefy machine. Finally, you can specify, at launch, the memory parameters for the IDE via the normal JRE flags (-xmms, -xmlimit, etc.) if you aren't on such a beefy machine. I've yet to find a better way to debug multi-threaded apps. Also, each summer they do an incredible job of releasing multiple projects on the same day.
Every computer has a JRE installed these days.
#SCITE VS ECLIPSE INSTALL#
I install the plugins that I need (YOXOS, FTW!), and I can drop the eclipse directory on a network share, USB drive, or live CD and have the same environment everywhere I go. I don't have to worry about remembering the layout of multiple IDEs for each language or OS, and that makes me more productive. Furthermore, I may be using any number of languages.Įclipse is the only IDE that I've found that can work across all these scenarios, and leave me with the same IDE across multiple languages.
I may also be using any one of several desktops between school, home, and work. The bloat isn't too bad when you consider the trade-off of flexibility on any given day, being a software development major with an internship, I may be using any one or more of 4 OSes, and any number of flavors thereof. I agree with your assessment, and I really do like eclipse.
