A while ago I evaluated Eclipse vs Visual Studio, and settled on
Visual Studio 2005. Eclipse is better in many ways, but the lack of
a gui builder was the deciding factor. Visual Studio 2005 has an
excellent gui builder. Eclipse doesn't, and in fact, none of the
Java IDEs had a half-decent gui builder. Our apps will have lots of
dialogs, and we didn't waste our careers hand-coding GridBagLayouts.
But the new NetBeans Java IDE has the best gui builder in the world.
From this demo at least, it seems to be ahead of Microsoft's GUI
builder even: http://www.netbeans.org/files/docume...5/matisse.html
Too late for me though; we are not going back to Java. 10 4177

Personally, I am interested in what is going on in the Java world, and so is
Microsoft. Although I am not a Java developer, only .Net, it is important to
keep up with what is going on in the rest of the development community. I
don't see the need to disparage anyone for posting relevant information
about the competition.
I love Microsoft. However, although I am an American, I recently bought a
Toyota. Why? Because only by competing will American industry remain strong.
I bought the best car for my requirements: a good balance of fuel
efficiency, performance, reliability, and price. When America makes a car as
good, for the same price, I will buy from an American company. That's what
is good for America. American automobile manufacturers should learn from the
Japanese. And Microsoft does learn from Sun. Sun learns from Microsoft. And
we all benefit from all of it.

agreed, I too found this an interesting piece of information.

Respectfully, this may be true, but this is a group dedicated to
understanding C#. Isn't the subject better served in a Java advocate
group or some other forum. It does little to further our
understanding of C#. In that same vein one could say Borland beat the
NetBeans people with their JBuilder. Borland had, maybe still has, one
of the leading IDEs for GUI building of all time, in all the languages
they support.
