you going to get irate at the next point..

I use Eclipse IDE on vmware-Ubuntu on a winVista 32 bit computer with not claims of bloated IDe slowing me down..it snot the IDE but the operator..more often times than not its improper eclipse.ini config that produces such bias rather than knowledge

Should not a java developer know how to use VM settings to set up their IDE? Its about like doing J2ee but not knowing how to do the VM setting son the server..is it not?

--rant off-




My point about bloated IDEs was to highlight my specific setup and preferences, which may not be specific to your setup.

I also think that proper configuration should be preferred over hardware-investments. Heck, I lived in a time when optimizing Config.sys and Autoexec.bat was required for playing games.

I do get annoyed by arguments that take a small part of what I said and comment on it out of context. Don't take this the wrong way, but your rant is not warranted -- if Eclipse floats your boat then I have no problem with that.
