“As for commercial vendors, you have to remember that Eclipse provides a barebones IDE. It really doesn't compete in features and functions with an enterprise IDE, nor does it try to. So what commercial vendors need to do is to focus on adding value in the form of more sophisticated capabilities on top of the commoditized base features that Eclipse provides for free.”
Carl Zetie
“Recognizing the tremendous momentum behind Eclipse, we are delighted to be the first vendor to provide a natural, easy way to work with Eclipse in the Model-Driven Development environment. Combined with the new flexible and powerful Graphical Differencing of Static Diagrams capability, Rhapsody 6.2 extends its lead over competing products as the fastest growing MDD product available today.”
Neeraj Chandra
“Can open source IDEs coexist with commercial IDEs? The answer is most emphatically 'Yes.' We feel that Eclipse is providing the building blocks for creating IDEs,”
Mike Milinkovich
“Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud.All men make faults.”
William Shakespeare
“In a way, staring into a computer screen is like staring into an eclipse. It's brilliant and you don't realize the damage until its too late.”
Bruce Sterling
“Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.”
Beverly Sills
“An occultation of Venus is not half so difficult as an eclipse of the Sun, but because it comes seldom the world thinks it's a grand thing”
Mark Twain
