[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8899524, member: 82106"] Right, neither of us are fanatics, I mean, you really should talk to Stallman if you want to be amused. I am rather OK with paying for software, those people are missing out on the open source world, but if they think that doing their own closed thing is working for them, that's fine. Adobe is dying anyway, they haven't been able to keep up and their code base is a completely wreck (I know people). I just think the way the game community is doing things is equally as short-sighted as Adobe. In the end, open source is what is left when all the commercial interests have wrecked themselves. Also, I have used both Eclipse and Intellij IDEA extensively, Eclipse is actually better, overall. I mean, if IntelliJ was free, OK maybe. It sure ain't worth $100! After wrestling with it for a year, I opened Eclipse to do some task, and that was the end of that, never went back! Same with Firefox, still happily using it, got 100's of tabs open on my 10-year-old system, works fine. [/QUOTE]
