ECLIPSE STILL LEADING THE PACK

Stumbling upon Adam Bien's blog on "Which Of These Is your Favorite IDE", I decided to vote. My obvious choice ofcourse was Netbeans. Not that I had much of a choice. Well truth is I moved from plain text editors to Netbeans. I happen to have tried JDeveloper but I guess we didn't get along.

The polls were quite interesting, starting with the fact that the total percentage was 120% as against 100%. While Eclipse managed a 2% lead over Netbeans, as the poll showed, Weblogic workshop garnered 0% with 6 votes (now that's interesting as well). This is how the IDE's polled as at my voting time:

Eclipse 47% with 836 votes

Netbeans 45% with 799 votes

IntelliJ 17% with 309 votes

Plain text editor 4% with 63 votes

Myeclipse 3% with 45 votes

JDeveloper 2% with 28 votes

Other 1% with 24 votes

RAD /WSAD 1% with 19 votes

Weblogic workshop 0% 6 votes

Again total votes was somewhere over 2000 as against 1781 as calcualted by the polling machine.
