I find this whole argument about Eclipse entertaining, but not

Eclipse doesn't address my original concer, and that was WOBuilder
(or a successor). Arguing the merits of an editor is a no-win
argument, think emacs versus vi (they both suck, they just suck in
different ways, I would say the same thing about Xcode versus
Eclipse).
I certainly agree, but vi and emacs suck. As to why Xcode sucks, it
seems to be a GUI veneer on a Unix development background and has far
too many options. Quite often I think I've found the right setting in
one dialog, only to find I have to set the same thing somewhere else.
Eclipse, I still can't quite get into - conversion and I'm not
convinced I like it yet, yes it has the right features, but just the
whole environment seems wrong. So Eclipse is better suited to Java,
but visual WO editing is not as good. I also do some Cocoa
programming, so it's always best to know Xcode intimately.
How about NetBeans 5.5? It seems this has gotten rave reviews over
and above Eclipse - are they right or is it another vi vs emacs
beatup? Still I'm thinking if our moves have to be towards Java EE 5,
then maybe NetBeans with Visual Web Pack (VWP) is the way to go.
So any thoughts on Eclipse vs NetBeans. Could you plug WOBuilder (or
equivalents) into NetBeans?
