His overall point is still valid, though, which is that the decision
to go with Eclipse, for instance, is something that requires enormous
initial complexity for users, but was made based on a belief that it
would be better for the users. Though this is only half right, it's
really that I hate Eclipse, but the only other reasonable choice is
NetBeans, and I hate that even more. This is basically the case of
Ant, also. Actually I mostly hate everything ... Thanks for ruining
my day :)
