Here is a slightly different perspective. Successful applications that have been around for more than 15 years, such as Photoshop, Microsoft Word/Excel, GMail, or indeed the NetBeans IDE, are pretty much "feature complete", and do not need a lot of new features to be useful. It's a lot more important that the features that are already there are maintained and polished, and that bugs are fixed. "What's new" pages are still useful from a marketing perspective--but you don't actually need a lot of grand new features to produce them. They can highlight features that have been around for many years, but which recently had an important bug fixed or some other small improvements made. We already do this when a new Java version is supported, for example. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Christian Lenz <christian.l...@gmx.net> Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2020 5:51 AM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: AW: VSNetBeans, future of NetBeans and personal words No I’m not happy with that. We are not a sect to act like that. Again there is no Innovation directly coming from NetBeans where developers say: Wow this is why NetBeans is great. It is just, yeah another IDE has this. I will send you the last what’s new in IntelliJ and WebStorm. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/ and https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/whatsnew/ and I can send you the last whats new from the last years and I can tell you for sure, that there are hundrets of stuff implemented that have wow effects because they are thinking about how they can make the work for our developers better and better. There are just maybe 1% that NetBeans already have and this is not worth to talk about. It was more just a question of time when they implemented this missing feature. So as I can see you talking about NetBeans as a tool for everything to hype it where there is no hype at all, you don’t care About users of NetBeans. It is like use it or not and if there is smth missing, create it by your own or use another tool. There is no plan, no vision, no strategy where we want to see NetBeans in the next 5 or 10 Years.
