And the idea that JetBrains doesnt consider financial issues when prioritising resources to fix bugs is quite scary, if we take your word for it.
Intellij Vs Eclipse Free Open SourceTheres IntelliJ IDEA which is a commercial product from Jetbrains and theres Eclipse which is a free open source product.They both offer amazing features that improve developer productivity, are easy to work with and provide plugins to extend the base product offering. What other programming language can even say they have a comparable IDE If interested, check out this link about the recent Visual Studio 2005 concerns. Yeah, the latest 5.x releases have had their share of issues but if you look at the product as a whole, it rocks Develop with pleasure. So I get treated like crap. Luckily 5.x fixed the problem. But since other people using 4.x with my version of MacOS didnt experience the problem I dont know if they actually fixed anythign on purpose to make it work in my case. When it works it is just a superior tool even though eclipse is quite good. Compared to ANY half-decent Java IDE (even Netbeans) it is a bad joke. Maybe MS give it for free, because they cant sell it to anybody (except to some MS-enthusiastic Indians). ![]() Obviously, there are a lot of happy Mac users who use IntelliJ IDEA your particular problem may have been unique, and if that was the case, it may have been overlooked however, its not becaue of economics, its simply because if we cannot produce the problem in our lab, then itll probably be ignored. Also considered is if one problem that nobody else is reporting takes too much time, it may get put on the back-burner, so we dont hold up any release. And lastly, many problems just come from MacJava playing together. Capitalism is supposed to be better than Communism from a quality stand-point because people can be rewarded by their effort. I dont think this theory, in regards to IDEs is really correct nor do I think yours is. I think it depends on the developers working on the products both we (Jetbrains) and Eclipse have some very talented folks working on the products so, its a moot point really. However, the price for IDEA isnt steep, and for a professional developer (not hobbyist), its well worth the money. Even as you noted, when it works (which it seems to do for the great majority of its users), its a superior tool. ![]() But what happened was a very sarcastic request for more info on the system experiencing the issue followed by total radio silence. Im not saying IntelliJ developers arent happy, just that the idea that people are more motivated by drawing salary than by getting involved in a project purely because they are interested in it is laughable. The economics of motivation is about ppl being motivated to get rich, not draw salary. If your developers are loaded with stock options etc and have a very real oportunity to be financially rewarded beyond their wildest dreams THEN they will be motivated in the capitalist way. I said they would be less likely to address specific issues due to economic reasons.
