Comparing Visual Studio and Eclipse
An anonymous reader writes "Getting started with Eclipse can be confusing. New concepts, such as plug-in architecture, workspace-centric project structure, and automatic build can seem counterintuitive at first. Without waxing too philosophical about IDE design, this article presents the main differences between Visual Studio and the Eclipse IDE."
Well, by definition, you cannot see the object if it is eclipsed. If something is visual, you can see it. Easy enough comparison.
Now, to get the folks that can add studio into the equation....
so you're saying Eclipse eclipses Visual Studio?
Yes, Microsoft worked hard to implement the slowness of Eclipse within Visual Studio.
The latest 2005 editions even come with a set of custom options for configuring your resource hogging.
The flashing file save icon has been redesigned and now displays as an alpha blended bead of annoyance.

It's more like Introduction to Eclipse for Visual Studio developers.

Why does your boss hate you?
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
I decided to try NetBeans about a year and a half back. I have a really good feeling about using it, and I'll tell you all about my experiences with it as soon as it finishes loading. XD
The laws of probability forbid it!
He doesn't, the guy's a masochist who likes hurting himself, hence "The most important thing to me in moving to Eclipse was that it would fully support the Vi command set"
And he likes to take his punishment from a paid professional. Kinky.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
I haven't used it, but it should be pointed out that Eclipse is now so big that it's also used for a lot of stupid reasons -- that it's used for $foo doesn't prove that it's a good fit for $foo, or for anything else.
I used to be in a project where we used Visual Studio 6. In reality, it sucked, so I wrote all my code in Emacs.
