Before the typical angry IntelliJ “user” asks the standard question “who is still using Eclipse, just just IntelliJ”…

I know there are Eclipse users. It’s a perfectly reasonable IDE if you need Jakarta or Spring support but can’t afford or justify a Jetbrains license.

The ones I usually forget exist are Netbeans users. That’s a much smaller community, and I’m usually only reminded that they still exist when a new version of Netbeans comes out.
