Javalobby.org: Is Eclipse the only tool to survive?
Javalobby.org has an interesting discussion going regarding the Eclipse IDE entitled Is Eclipse the only tool to survive? The most interesting part of any discussion like this is the comments that people leave. So far they are fairly civil as it is far too easy for a thread like this to degenerate into a religous flame war.
I think I am a tool junky and therefore enjoying reading the various arguments that people use to defend their personal choice of software tool. It is kinda like a group of men sitting around discussing whose hammer is superior. Sure there are hammers that are better then others based on design, weight, and other considerations, but in the end, as long as it drives in nails it is doing its job. Although this would mean that I could defend notepad as an IDE on the grounds that it allows me to write code.
So what is your favorite software tool and why?
