Eclipse over IntelliJ? Give me a break.

Even the most die-hard Eclipse developers on my dev team abandoned that IDE after I forced them to try IntelliJ for a week. Who the heck came up with this list? Seriously, look at the other entries on this list. The list is a joke and SD magazine had just announced their complete irrelevancy to the world. Congrats crack monkeys.

SD.cancel();

JDJ.renew();
JavaWorld.renew();
JavaPro.renew();

Well, IBM owns SD. What do you expect?

SD is not owned by IBM, it is owned by CMP.

I'm pretty skeptical of this list based on "an independent panel of judges". There are products on there I've never even heard mention of, but yet they are ranked higher than well established products. A quick look at the product sites makes me strongly question how these products could be ranked higher than established products. (e.g. MindManager X5 Pro is better than Together???)

I believe someone has to nominate a product in order for it to be considered by the panel. Since the panel (hopefully) considers only technical merits, not how large a userbase a given product has, Together shouldn't win just because they have an established product. I wouldn't be surprised if FishEye or Confluence won a Jolt next year -- even though they're not "established products"...

"XYZ-IDE is the best one! Who uses other are a fool. My mon abandoned after I asked with love."

Hey! There are other preferences that yours. It's just a list.

Next build your own list! The best one.
