Re: What's the best IDE to develop Java apps for Mac and Windows?

As for best IDE:

Very easy: Try Eclipse and IDEA and use the one you like better.

I find that since I am already an expert in Eclipse, there is nothing that IDEA would add that would be worth the time and money. But I keep evaluating every new release of IDEA just in case.

Another reason I am not switching is that I am also using SVN (per plugin), Python (plugin) and Ruby (plugin). While the Py and Ruby editors are nowhere near the Java tools, they are pretty competitive with other Py and Ruby editors out there.

That it's open source also gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling of security. Eclipse will always be around.

The longer I live in the Java world and the more I feel that Java developers in general are way more religious about their tools than is generally healthy.

The same can be said about Java projects in general. The code and the frameworks are more important the product and the problems they solve.
