What is good in Eclipse, was already present in IDEA, and the implementation in IDEA is still much better. The only difference I can see is that Eclipse is free for the developer. This is not such a good news, because all the hype towards Eclipse and the funding behind it could definitely kill IDEA and leave us with a much worse product, even if sold as free. Maybe IBM should have given his money to JetBrains instead of OTI. And by the way I agree that no-one really needs SWT, especially on Mac OS X, where the Swing implementation is very good ans SWT is not. Maybe this is the reason why I cannot see any other SWT applications other than Eclipse. If OTI cannot develop in an object-oriented way, instead of producing a procedural GUI API, which obviously can be mapped to Carbon not Cocoa, maybe the should have stayed away from Java and choose a different language. And most of all I cannot stand an IDE whose behaviour gets unpredictable when the number of classes is greater than 100. |

What are you talking about. We have assumed maintenance of an admittedly bloated project that has over two thousand classes, and we are using WSAD (which is basically Eclipse++). There are no problems with the IDE handling the class size that I can discern.
