As I’m registered on the Borland developer network up until now I’ve been given the chance to answer two polls on the road they should take in the future. I personally dropped using the JBuilder IDE long time ago as it started to have too great machine requirements and also because of it’s mostly commercial orientation (something I didn’t need back then). When I received the last poll I’ve been using Eclipse in and out (and also tried their excellent Together for Eclipse IDE for architects) so as I was really hooked up on it I of course gave full support for to migrate JBuilder to Eclipse as well. Personally I don’t really know what did the JBuilder community loose with this nor do I care to make any comments on JBuilder 2007 but what I find really great about Borland is that they do these polls and actually take the time to analyze what do their potential and current users want. I really think that is a positive attitude towards software development that I hope in the long run will help CodeGear recover the grounds on the IDE market.
