I ditched NetBeans in favor of Eclipse around 3 years ago. Reading stuff like this makes me wonder if I have to re-evaluate that decision.

Eclipse is far away to get an acceptable support for Java EE 5 stuff like EJB3 in a good shape as netbeans 5.5 does, soecially when we talk about out-of-the-box features.

just come back to Netbeans camp and you will find much more items that make you wonder.

[...] In addition to the impression that a video of Wielenga or Buzek building J2EE apps with a Samsung Origami device might make, there’s apparently something for everyone (well, every developer) including (with the help of some other frameworks) AJAX programmers and people who like the increased usefulness of something that isn’t 100 percent flexible and that doesn’t hurt. Something like Ruby on Rails (tagline: Web development that doesn’t hurt). To be fair, the tagline over at NetBeans.org was never Web development that hurts. But, if in January of ‘07, I’m buying dinner for Tim Bray in a rail car, perhaps by then, the tagline will be Web development that hurts less than Eclipse. Especially if more influentia and long-time Eclipse developers like Philip Jacob Whirlycott actually make the switch. This year’s JavaOne (in two weeks) will be telling. Last year, the Eclipse Foundation cleaned NetBeans’ clock. [...]
