True. But there’s also the fact that eclipse is maintained by the eclipse foundation. a not for profit, I’m not sure how it works for jetbrains’ CE versions. But I assume they’re still handled by jetbrains itself.
shouldn’t matter too much for the open source versions. But there’s my 2¢
You can’t imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle’s computer back in ~2010. And just never left.
It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I’ll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.
Is it the best? Nope. But it’s fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.
Idk. Frankly I’m just echoing the meme. And also. In the 5 years I’ve used linux i haven’t touched chrome/chromium with a 10ft pole. Let alone compile it.
I do remember compiling an oddball version of wine once though. Don’t remember much about how it went. But the fact I have it duplicated 5 times tells me I never wanted to do it again.
Wait for it. She’s still compiling Firefox.
And then there’ also my “how tf can i be creative if i have 0 imagination?”
mankier saved my ass more times than i’m willing to admit on Barebones distros that came with no man. Especially with the command examples
Whenever i ser apps built with ai assitance i just think:“wait until an exploit pops up and no one knows how to fix it. Since it was hallucinated by ai from 2009 code”
I get cyclists using the road. Here where i live there is no infrastructure for bycles. I have been there and it’s hideous to cooperate with cars on the road. the only problem i have with cyclists are the ones that think thar bikes don’t have to abide to circulation laws. For example, in a country that drives on the right. I had a cyclist behind me, i turn on the indicator to turn right and as i turn the cyclist overtakes me from the right and then acts pissed because i almost put them under. Let’s not speak about the ones that take one way roads from the wrong sides to take a shortcut.
Willingly is a strong word. More of a “this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well”. It’s been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.
Also I’m quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.
I’ve tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn’t process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I’ve started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don’t program for a living.
I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it’s MS-DOS based software ffs.
