Re: [ide-dev] Java IDEs comparison

Hi,

Everything I didn't comment means I agree fully with. Things like good content in packages, too many perspectives & views are very relevant arguments IMO.

With JetBrains products upgrading to a new version has been seamless

That's because you're using only/mostly JetBrains' plugins, not community ones.
It's the same as if you're using only Eclipse bundles from Simultaneous Release, those are the ones that are tested by the community to work together.

Finding extension wit Jetbrains is easy: there just one place to
search for them. Installing plugins is like clicking a checkbox on a
list. I have not had any problems installing or updating plugins with
Jetbrains IDEs.

Finding extension for Eclipse IDE is easy with Neon: just double-click on a .py file in your IDE, and you'll get suggested to install PyDev.

In Jetbrains IDEs it is very easy to exclude folders form being parsed.

I've not used those tools, but IIRC, in JDT it's right-click > Build Path > Remove from build path. We can qualify it as very easy. I don't know how it is for Python and JS right now.
However, a consistent approach would be to have such a generic "ignore source folder" command and have whateverDT plugins implementing it.
If you think it makes sense, please create a bug for Platform UI and we'll followup there, hopefully reaching a good agreement and a change for Oxygen.
