IntelliJ

[Panah Rad]

For a long time, .Net programmers have pointed to Visual Studion.Net as one of the reasons for writing code in C# or VB and not in Java. To be honest, Java has never had a single IDE that's been able to hold its own against its Microsoft counterpart, at least not any that I know of. Now, with .net vs. Java issue still going on, do you forsee the possibility of .Net vs. Java moving towards IDE vs. IDE anytime soon?

Do you mean that Eclipse is not as good as VS ?

[Theodore Casser]

I think it's all just a matter of taste - I mean, I've never really cared for the .Net IDE's, but that doesn't mean I don't think they 'hold their own' against the ones that are our for our favorite language.

As for IDE vs IDE as opposed to .Net vs. Java... I think that's really apples and oranges.
