IDE Dilemma

This post, and the one from yesterday should trade titles... but I couldn't come up with a good title yesterday so... The problem with the IDE dilemma is that I haven't written code at home since the mandate was put in place. Using JBuilder has never been fun. I have never enjoyed opening JBuilder. We are still in the process of determining requirements at work, which is always a three month process no matter how small the project. Hopefully, I will start writing code at work and get used to JBuilder so the actual pain will go away. What pisses me off the most is the registration. We do all of our development on a standalone network, so getting the damn thing registered takes half an hour and the involvement of about 3 people.

Why buy something that is easy to set up and use, when we can buy something difficult, expensive and requires training? If you must hire 30 consultants to get something working, then it must a great product. This thought process just makes me want to kick people in the shins.

There are ways around the registration. You just have to request it from Borland.
