Re: comments on eclipse
 

Well, as far as Eclipse goes, I'm forced to use it in the office, and since then it's somewhat grown on me, i use it for PHP, C/C++, Java and any other project i need to do, it's just generically nice :)

Reviving an ancient thread. But i also use Eclipse now for Java programming. Its a programmers heaven for sure. Makes you lazy in checking your syntax, as Eclipse does a lot of things for you.

About speed, since i run it on a pretty high-end system (2 gig ram, code duo processor) it runs pretty good! ;-)

it looks like NetBeans is a little faster than Eclipse (but still slow as it's also written in Java and my RAM is "only" 256MB).
