From: Charles Gardiner on 22 Mar 2010 19:29 Generally I use nedit and a whole bunch of perl scripts/java apps I've written over the years. I'm not totally against eclipse. I use it with the Lattice mico32 environment for instance. Regarding the Sigasi tool, the price on the website is 'within reason'. What's not within reason, IMHO, is the licensing model. If I don't fork out every year it will stop working. I would never even look at a tool that I can't get a perpetual license for. If I develop a project with it then I want to be able to come back to it again in five years if I have to regenerate the project from my archives.

If it was shallow, it would take you a very long time to learn it.
From: Eric Smith on 22 Mar 2010 19:39 Eclipse is slow even on fast machines. My most recent experience with it is on a Phenom II X4 965BE machine (quad core 3.4 GHz), and it still is noticeably sluggish. Years ago, people used to criticize Emacs for being slow and a resource hog. By today's standards, Emacs is lean and mean.
