Well Java's father invented Java. Why should we care his advices???

Funny he should say that. While I mostly use Vim or - on os x - textwrangler, because I found Eclipse intolerable when I wanted to take up android development a colleague suggested netbeans.<p>After downloading seven hundred fifty megabytes, I launched it, could not see a whole lot that was better than eclipse. Then I created a separate text editor window; that window did not have a menu bar. While key accellerators did work, not all menu items have them.<p>So I dragged it into the trash along with eclipse, and continue using vim, emacs and textwrangler.
