Sorry Rich, but you missed part of the point. Scott didn't say that JBuilder
per se sucks, just its documentation.

And in that I agree wholeheartedly. Apparently the people at Sun who are
responsible for such things wouldn't know reasonable documentation if it bit
them. Stripping out comments via JavaDoc and then calling that a Help file
is a joke.

If I had an employee who seriously suggested that, well, let's just say that
he would have just greatly damaged his chances for advancement in the firm.

Borland's (oh, well, as long as we're talking about stupid things, pardon
me, Inprise's) mistake was rushing the product to market and accepting the
JavaSoft nonsense mostly verbatim, and not doing a decent job of
documentation.

Which is what Scott was complaining about.
