Comparing Visual Studio and Eclipse

Posted by kdawson on from the path-of-totality dept.

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."

    So a marketing article by IBM (the friggin' owners of Eclipse) compares Eclipse to Visual Studio. How can anyone expect this to be objective? If Microsoft had written this article on their website, there would be charges of FUD, FUD, FUD

    Fairness regarding any comparison with OSS and Microsoft? You must have forgotten what website this is. MS products are mediocre at best. And even that is being very generous.

    Mind you, if there was a half-assed Mac-based IDE in this comparison it would have gotten rave reviews for ease of use. Of course, when it only has 4 features it becomes pretty simple to figure out.

    Flame away. Censor this post into oblivion.
