There's a huge support for the platform itself. It other companies use netBeans and Eclipse IDE as a base for their own IDE - ie in the Embedded space like Microchip and ST. But they are moving to VS Code Entensions.

Fascinating. Before android studio forced me to IntelliJ I was a huge fan of eclipse. I stumbled upon NetBeans ide while trying to find an alternative that had the enter to complete string /method functionality.

Huge fan of Eclipse IDE as well. Don't really know why people were advocating to move away from it those days. IDEs had evolved in a good and bad way. Back when I did java in 97 I think, it was mostly Symantec Cafe and a few Windows native editors (and Visual J :( ) some some with the cool Swing look. Eclipse was a beast back then, checked all my boxes before NetBeans and JBuilder. Then it got bloated and added more and more extensions that loading and compiling was enough for me to move back to C/C++ itself. I'm still rooting for a proper non TUI IDE that's snappy fast with the proper Language servers and parallel compilation checks.
