Ah, that was the other part of my story I edited
out.
Yeah, you see the nice orange Downloads button and it takes
you to our Downloads page. But I always like to get a bit of
an overview on the thing I'm downloading before I do to make
sure I'm not wasting my time and bandwidth.
So I click on the Eclipse for Java EE IDE link (I'm not
doing EE but it's the first Java IDE I saw - true story, one
of the young guys on our team just did that), and I get this:
Some times I feel like when I do a Gerrit push on a neat
new feature, that I'm pushing it into /dev/null. It's a
fundamental flaw that's always been with Eclipse. It's not a
product. I don't know why we expect it to be a product. You
download it and use it, it feels like a product and maybe
that's why it confuses people. But a product includes trying
hard to get new customers and keep customers happy, great
marketing and support. But in open source, that's not really a
thing, because that costs money and the link between happy
customers of an open source product to the members who pay for
that is too long, only extreme visionaries and fans get it.
Anyway, again, I'm ranting. I need to get back to my CDT
for Qt feature that I know my commercial customers will
appreciate and hopefully open source ones do too, assuming
they can find it, so we lose the sigma that you can't build Qt
apps with Eclipse so that my commercial customers will feel it
worth giving it a try and feel that I'm giving them value with
our Eclipse based tools...
