Enterprise Java Community: News : Java Succumbing to .NET in my Organization.
Interesting post pointed out by Matthew Podwysocki. Having worked with Java/J2EE for several years, experiencing the pain of Websphere & VAJ, I’ve been loving .NET & VS.NET for many years now. Eclipse is a great IDE don’t get me wrong, but MSFT’s advantage is they own the base and can move it forward as fast as they need – not having to wait for a community to agree on things.
Sure, that’s the proprietary way, but given tools like ICSharpCode.net and other non-MSFT .NET tools, it’s clear that it’s something other vendors can work with too.
