Ganymede is still better than NB 6.1
Netbeans is an IDE first, and a platform second. Through and through, Netbeans is a tool for writing code. Contrast this with eclipse, which, quoting from their homepage, is an “open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks .
I have no comment on this ;-)
why eclipse lacks SVN and DVCS support ?
Subclipse plug-in beats all other graphical SVN clients, even Subversive is enough.
why there’s no GUI builder
cuz there are more than Swing (RCP-SWT, SwingWT, SWTSwing, … ) , and you can select the plugins you want to create UIs. IMHO A tool for writing code should focus on other functions like refactoring than drag-drop for forms - which is usually resource-hog and low-demand .
why you need a plugin to debug web applications
JEE version of Eclipse bundles WST plug-in. FYI, “plug-in” implies “optional” which means you can find alternatives or remove some functionality if the “built-in” one causes more trouble than benefit.
SVN, application server, built in database access, web services support
AFAIK Eclipse supports all those functions , at least by the plug-ins. And they works like charms.
