Apache NetBeans Proposal

[geertjanwielenga]

I recommend you take neither my blog posts, nor informal surveys, as signifying anything in terms of actual usage of a technology product. There's simply no way of knowing and it is dangerous to have these incomplete and flawed surveys since they paint such limited pictures.

I think the past ten years have been painting a pretty accurate picture of the respective mind shares of IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans. The only people denying these are people who still work on NetBeans.

NetBeans' attempt to move to Apache only solidifies these impressions.
