Hello,
We don't use Eclipse (although we probably should). I'm still on vi (so
you can tell when I started programming) and Rasmus and Tim like nedit.
They also work on Linux which is generally a bit more sane with regard to
Java. (But Java generally doesn't scale very well.)
I should add, for the benefit of people on the mailing list, that this is
not an issue for anyone who is not developing code. Users definitely
don't need (nor would you benefit from having) Eclipse.
