Look either you want there to be excellent software like IntelliJ created by excellent companies that employ programmers or you don't- that' sreality. I am so very very unemployed and going broke quickly, but it never occurs to me to pirate software from a company whose end product is probably one of the keys to my salvation. I worked with Eclipse for 3 months at the end of 2005 at a client's request. That's long enough to *really* try it in it's mature form. There is no comparison. IntelliJ gets it, IBM doesn't. Why go to the trouble of pirating software if Eclipse is free anyway? Like the guy above said, dn't like something about Eclipse? Then fork it. Of course, that will puit you face first into the world that is Eclipse, so bon voyage, and be sure to write. IntelliJ is fantastic and to keep it fantastic I am willing to save and go without lattes for a year and pay what they're asking, which is very very very reasonable. I suppose there are always a small number of Machiavellian types for whom the above doesn't compute, but mostly those guys get kicked upstairs to management and then of course later we see them doing the perp walk.

Why do folk think it's OK to pirate software, from a relatively small developer? I’m curious.

I have been using Idea now for over 2 years, however, there is so much momentum and ‘extras’ behind Eclipse, lots more plug-ins (free and pricey ones), many howto article on Eclipse, more products integrate with Eclipse. I would like to stick with Idea for another year, but where are all the ‘extras’ for it? In my opinion, Idea 4.5 is so much smoother than Eclipse 3.0.
