Likelihood to Recommend I think that if someone asked me for an IDE for Java programming, I would definitely recommend Eclipse as is one of the most complete solutions for this language out there. If the main programming language of that person is not Java, I don't think Eclipse would suit his needs[.]
Read full review My CMS has a small window in which I can edit custom HTML/CSS. It can be expanded some, but not as much as I would like. It also displays all code as dark text on a white background. On a page where I am doing extensive custom coding, it is helpful to see it in a larger window and in a color-coded display so that I don't have to strain my eyes as hard. Especially when I'm trying to scan for specific elements and target issues and so that I don't have to scroll endlessly in a tiny window.
Read full review Pros Eclipse organizes imports well and does a good job presenting different programming languages. Eclipse auto formats source code allowing customization and increased readability. Eclipse reports errors automatically to users rather than logging it to the console. Eclipse has coding shortcuts and auto-correction features allowing faster software development. Read full review It is very light and boots up instantaneously. It has tons of plugins that will help you to customize sublime entirely according to your needs and thereby is not bloated Package control is really easy to work with and most plugins can be installed in 2 just clicks. Free version has nearly all the features of the paid version. Its User Interface is simple and makes it easy to located many features. It gives you a ton of control over your ide setting through User-settings where you can customize almost everything. Read full review Cons While the DB integration is broad (many connectors) it isn't particularly deep. So if you need to do serious DB work on (for example) SQL Server, it is sometimes necessary to go directly to the SQL Server Studio. But for general access and manipulation, it is ok. The syntax formatting is sometimes painful to set up and doesn't always support things well. For example, it doesn't effectively support SCSS. Using it for remote debugging in a VM works pretty well, but it is difficult to set up and there is no documentation I could find to really explain how to do it. When remote debugging, the editor does not necessarily integrate the remote context. So, for example, things like Pylint don't always find the libraries in the VM and display spurious errors. The debugging console is not the default, and my choice is never remembered, so every time I restart my program, it's a dialog and several clicks to get it back. The debugging console has the same contextual problems with remote debugging that the editor does. Read full review Plugins are easier to use and less complicated but transferring your license to a new computer isn't as simple as it sounds. Sublime has an automatic file comparison feature, but it's challenging to use and should be improved. Adding the ability to mark or highlight the text with different colors would be an excellent application. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I love this product, what makes it one of the best tool out in the market is its ability to function with a wide range of languages. The online community support is superb, so you are never stuck on an issue. The customization is endless, you can keep adding plugins or jars for more functionalities as per your requirements. It's Free !!!
Read full review I love this application. It has helped to improve my work. Also, I became so used to the shortcuts that It's hard for me to change to another editor.
Read full review Usability It has everything that the developer needs to do the job. Few things that I have used in my day-to-day development 1. Console output. 2. Software flash functionality supporting multiple JTAG vendors like J-LINK. 3. Debugging capabilities like having a breakpoint, looking at the assembly, looking at the memory etc. this also applies to Embedded boards. 4. Plug-in like CMake, Doxygen and PlantUML are available.
Read full review This is a programmers tool. As such a lot of the features and benefits are lost on a non-technical user. To get the most out of the tool you need to have a basic crash course in how it works and what it can do. The documentation and community are good, but it takes a bit of time to get up to speed.
Read full review Performance It has many handy hacks and shortcuts which enhances its performace.
Read full review Support Rating I gave this rating because Eclipse is an open-source free IDE therefore no support system is available as far as I know. I have to go through other sources to solve my problem which is very tough and annoying. So if you are using Eclipse then you are on your own, as a student, it is not a big issue for me but for developers it is a need.
Read full review Never had to use their customer support before. There is ample documentation online so it's straightforward to find a solution to any problem you might encounter. For example, I needed to convert a string of HTML code to a properly formatted HTML file to "modify." Easy to do when there are so many users of the product who have needed to do that same thing before.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The installation, adaptability, and ease of usage for Eclipse are pretty high and simple compared to some of the other products. Also, the fact that it is almost a plug and play once the connections are established and once a new user gets the hang of the system comes pretty handy.
Read full review We've used both Notepad++ and
Atom ; both are great but nothing really beats the Sublime Text UI; super intuitive and friendly and does everything you need without overwhelming you with stuff you don't. Other options are free, but for our organization, it was well worth the small license cost for the persistent use of a great product.
Read full review Return on Investment This development environment offers the possibility of improving the productivity time of work teams by supporting the integration of large architectures. It drives constant change and evolution in work teams thanks to its constant versioning. It works well enough to develop continuous server client integrations, based on solid or any other programming principle. Read full review Sublime Text has helped me to focus on specific tasks, cutting out the clutter that many other IDEs have. As such, it has helped me be a more productive employee because I don't get dazed by hundreds of buttons. I can focus on just the code. Sublime Text is so affordable that it's a no-brainer to have an extra tool in your toolset. The Search features of Sublime Text are so useful that it has saved me a great amount of time compared to using Find & Replace menus in Xcode, Android Studio, or Eclipse. Read full review ScreenShots
