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

My gut feeling is that the nature of software development causes
anxiety in programmers, and this in turns causes them to become
inordinately attached to their tools and frameworks. My
mechanical/civil/electrical engineering buddies don't seem to be
afflicted with this, but then they can rely on certain other things:
the tensile properties of steel, the flow capacity of a given pipe,
the speed of light, etc. Software people have no such solid facts on
which they can depend, so they put all their faith in their tools.

Hm, I'm not sure it's that. There is just something that bothers me when I see projects planned and built around frameworks and code instead of around the user's needs. Oh well.
