looks good, but i meant javadocs as a reference to the language, not documenting your own code. sorry, i should have made myself more clear, but i tend to ramble instead.
yes the documentation is great and i love hitting ctrl-space so complete code, but i have found a couple shortcomings in the ide itself. i may have not even noticed if i haven't used netbeans so much. when you change the name of the class file inside of the ide, it fails to change the names to reflect your changes in the code. maybe i'm just nitpicking, but it's annoying to o through the code and change all the parts that refer to the old name of the class.
this is true. i can't stand looking at a swing application. it just hurts my eyes to look at something on my desktop that doesn't look like everything else on my desktop. yes you can use the window swing theme, but the fonts are still different, and swing is just plain slow. i have been playing around with mono on my linux machines. i've read that you can tie wine in with mono so you can use the system.windows.forms namespace, but i have yet to try.
well, my title is programmer. that means i have to write anything my boss tells me to write. so when i have to write a windows program, c# makes it alot easier to do compared to win32 and c. this might not make that much sense, but i work at a college, and i have to write what they tell me to even if i don't know the language they want me to write it in. i do know java, which make c# all the easier to write in.
sorry to be so vague, i was being bothered by someone while i was writing the previous comment. anyway,.net has done alot of things right. microsoft's idea of object oriented programming may be a bit off, but they get the general feel for it in c#. there is always the option of java developers to develop using j# but it's really not worth it when you can just do it using almost the same syntax in c#. for examples with j# you have distribute a j# runtime with your applications. this point is, if microsoft has done anything right with.net, it's making it possible to write quality programs for windows( WITHOUT VB ) using something other than c/c++ and win32/mfc.
it sure beats writing windows programs in win32. the only thing i miss(being a java programmer) is javadocs. i mean come on now, if you're going to clone a language, at least do the whole thing, or you're just going to leave people confused. overall though,.net is a nice thing to use. i do wish it did something better, but you can't have everything.
do people just not have anything to do? i mean come on now... it's like people just put a dictionary in a blender and grab random letters from the shred to come up with an idea for a new project.
actually i work for a college and we pay 34 dollars per desktop for a bundle of xp/office/visio/and visual studio. this is changing in 2005 though. microsoft is dropping our educational discount. that's why we're heavily researching linux on the desktop. plus we're a novell shop so ximian desktop is going to look really good to us in 2005.

rewriting explorer in .NET ? NO! explorer already uses 20-30% of my cpu just to browse the start menu...
dick waving asshole ? not really, considering that i was about 15 when i read X-Force. p.s. it was a joke.
i've never heard of the new X-Force, i'll have to check them out. but really dude, cable and shatterstar kicked ass.
i'm going to kill one kitten a day and shove it in Stan Lee's mailbox until he brings back the X-Force
is the dinosaurs name Darl McBride? he looks kind of dinosaurish.

between sco and a bucket of shit? the bucket!
aren't we all just playing games with each other?
i can finally run my java/swing programs at the speed of native programs??????
