[ve-dev] Re: Re: NetBeans GUI Builder...

["Iacobazzi VitoNicola" <viacobazzi@xxxxxx>]

The first thing that i think is the speed... I have a PentiumIII 800MHz and NetBeans GUI Builder is faster... the VE, under this
point of view, is unusable. But i'm waiting for an upgrade... ;)
Then the NetBeans GUI Builder have a very flexible Cut/Copy/Paste manager, direct (and very fast) refactoring and a very beautiful
GridBagLayout manager...
If you ask why I use Eclipse... it is my company that imposes it... however, out of GUI Builder, the rest of Eclipse is
insuperable...
Very thanks for attention :)

P.S. since netbeans it is opensource, could not itself be integrated it with some small modification?
