Eclipse is still better, next comes Netbeans.
Interestingly, since 2007 Eclipse is gaining strongly into Embedded area. Most of the ARM boards come with Elipse out of the box IDE. Cool. Or, people can download Eclipse and scale up with CDT, EMF etc.
How can we choose an IDE tool that is linked with a CASE tool and give us the power to develop and release applications that are OS, GUI, RDBMS, processors independent. If exist this environment let me know.
religion aside, checkout netbeans 6.5 ... some details like code completion are far better than eclipse.
Sorry I haven't replied before mate. I usually don't read replies for awards that often, because some can get too big very quickly
Anyway, I will try to give the latest netbeans a shot. A friend of mine is always talking about it and the improvements it has made. Definitely something I want to check out on my free time
I spent some time learning emacs - it really paid off!!!!!
I invested a lot of time learning Emacs before GUI based editors were widely available - in the early eighties. I learned Vi around the same time. When I am doing development, using GNU Emacs really pays off. As an IDE, it can be installed on any development platform that I use. Years ago, it was a heavy consumer of resources. These days, it is modest in size, especially compared to the large Web browsers and Personal Information Managers (PIMs) that are common.
It is free, easily extended, and extremely capable. Even more so as an IDE than as just a text editor, when I am in IDE mode, GNU Emacs all the way.
Anjuta and Geany have made impressive progress last year and god lightweight IDEs. However voted for NetBeans because of the Ruby / Ruby on Rails support made available last year.
