Comment JBuilder free, but is it good? (Score 1) 261
I was using Java to build a GUI around a legacy C code program, and I was searching for IDEs to use. The best one out there that had a resource editor (which was necessary) was JBuilder. It was a nice environment, but it was filled with bugs. The editor was also not too customizable, so I had to keep manually tabbing myself a lot, and the tabs converted to spaces way too much, even though I selected the option to have it not do that. The resource editor is powerful, but unfortunately filled with bugs. It crashed on me so many times, and I lost so much work, that I decided to go back to MFC. But I can definately see it in the future as an excelent editor, once they work out some bugs.
