Unfortunately I’m not in the path of totality but I am pretty close

      It may not have been dark out but it was still pretty cool seeing shadows get messed up and seeing the sun get covered through eclipse glasses.

      Definitely hoping to travel to one of the total eclipses in the later 20s/30s tho

    Everyone I know switched to IntelliJ though I’d still use Eclipse if IntelliJ didn’t exist tbh. IntelliJ is just too good.

    I was taught coding using IDEs. After I discovered that they aren’t even necessary for debuging and compiling, I said “What’s the point?” And I’ve just been using text editors ever since.

      I think you might be my neighbor. This is the exact same view I had except the tree was on the left.

    It’s fine. Super flexible platform for any development environment. I’d take it over Notepad++.

        I don’t like having to unplug my computer to exit the IDE. Takes a while and I often lose my changes.

          That’s the oldest joke in the book. Everybody knows you don’t need to unplug your computer, you can run “sudo reboot” from within vim just fine!

            !sudo shutdown -r now. Or just :x or ZZ, but I guess those don’t fit the motif of this very tired silly joke.

          I find it quicker to turn off the power through the breaker box. It’s faster so you can get back to working sooner.

      I’d go out of my way to install the necessary plugins on vscode before I’d use Eclipse. I can’t even figure out how to open my damn project that I accidentally closed FFS!!

      It’s a hot mess. Or it was 10 years when I was last forced to use it.

      I remember there was one setting I needed to adjust from time to time. However the menu tree it was in had been removed leaving it a orphaned tree. So you couldn’t get to it through the ui. The only way to get to the setting was to go to a unrelated page in the documentation and click on the goto link in it. That would launch the menu that otherwise didn’t exist. From there you could back up and get into the menu to adjust the setting.

    Nice shot! Totality was a true sight to behold, but partial eclipses are really awesome too.

      Seeing wisps of clouds roll over it was pretty nice. Definitely recommending seeing one, even just once. Partial solar eclipse with clouds overcovering

    A couple of profs tell the students at our school to use it. Students would ask me (a tutor) “can you help me with this problem with eclipse?” and then point to the worst UI anyone ever created. I want to like it, because open source and stuff, but it’s just horrible

    I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

    I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

    I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

    I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.
