Google Trends - Seems Like Netbeans IDE became As Popular As Eclipse IDE
Netbeans 6.5 is out. I just repeated the experiment and compared Eclipse IDE and Netbeans IDE using Google Trends. Regarding to the result it seems like Netbeans IDE became as popular as Eclipse IDE. It is just a statistic, but the situation has improved significantly for Netbeans IDE since the last measurement again. However, don't take it too seriously - the last post about this comparison caused 19 comments :-).
Just add textmate to the comparison ... amazing: TextMate is even more popular then eclipse and netbeans ... does that mean OS X is the most popular development platform? :-)

Hm, Stephen Colebourne's whiteboard votes show that even IntelliJ is in front of Netbeans.

Just add Vim and Emacs. Boy is Emacs dropping like a stone... I think the only fact to learn from this exercise is that numbers can swing any vote...

Michael,
can I get a copy of Pizza? I would like the "personal compiled edition". Homework for you: install Opensolaris on your box. NB looks really nice on it (very like nimbus),
thanks,
adam

sorry, my pizza (with beans) has out of the box copy protection.

regarding nimbus, pizza uses nimbus too ;) even if its funny pizza does really exist - it started as a experiment and since it worked from the beginning i left it like it is. (renaming all the layers is actually lot of work...)
