This is actually the whole point of this thread in the end. Do developers use Eclipse because they want to, or because they have to?
If developers use Eclipse because they want to, then your point about Eclipse & Maemo is valid. But if developers use Eclipse because they have to, then your whole point about "Many mobile developers want to use Eclipse everywhere" is rubbish. And i must say that i strongly feel that you mix market penetration with user satisfaction. I had to use Carbide / Eclipse because Nokia pushed it. Id did NOT use it because i wanted it, because lets face it, there isnt that many other IDEs around for Nokia phones. Code Warrior comes to mind, but thats more expensive than Carbide. So i think this is more about Nokia policy, than about doing what developers like. It not that im specially against Eclipse & Maemo. Its just that i dont believe that Eclipse is such a loved IDE as you seem to assume it is. -- Arto Karppinen ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
