I don't find this a fair thing to say. Eclipse was/is de facto the standard IDE for Java and JavaEE development, not to mention it was/is widely used as an IDE for C development. You can still find prebuilt packages [0] that quickly get you off ground. I've built commercial products with Eclipse RAP [1] that are still used today. Eclipselink [2] for persistence is also a great tool. Eclipse EMF [4] for modeling - and I've used that A LOT when building databases and model structures for businesses. I have since then moved to other languages and tools, but much of today's software was made possible by the Eclipse team. And I thank them for all their great work. 0 - https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ 1 - https://www.eclipse.org/rap/ 3 - https://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/ 4 - https://eclipsesource.com/technology/modeling/#emf (edit: added EMF) |

Was it really de facto? Didn't it lost to Netbeans? I remember there was some rivalry between Netbeans and Eclipse ( along with many other things ) and in the end many sided with Sun ( Netbeans ).
But that was a really long time ago so my memory may be a little fuzzy.
