Eclipse vs. Idea
by schlumpf filed under Computer, Java, Rants, Work

I just read this blog entry about switching from Eclipse to Idea, and I fully agree with the author. Alas, I’m not really qualified to comment on that, since it has been nearly three years since I actually worked with Idea. Having changed my job, of necessity I also changed the IDE I’m working with, so now I’m stuck with Eclipse. And since then I wonder why Eclipse has to think quite some time to find all references to a private variable (no, I’m not talking of classes with 10,000 lines of code ;-) ) … I still remember Idea favourably — at that time it was already better than Eclipse is now.
