Personally, I think you're putting the "blame" firmly in the wrong place. Java is changing, JavaFX is changing, build tools are evolving - this is all for the better in my opinion, but it requires learning new things. And switching IDE will not change that, and will probably make for even more annoyance. As Emi has already mentioned, there are numerous ways of working the old way, with a Java 8 JDK, possibly even with JavaFX bundled, for a number of years yet (although that's maybe not much use if you like what Gluon is doing). None of the support for the older ways of working have been removed from the IDE as far as I know. To paraphrase your domain, maybe throw the rock elsewhere?! :-) Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
