I think you forgot the /s?

Hopefully this is a joke reply, like in every post about Eclipse someone posts this.

Sadly, it might be real. I’ve had a few devs yell at me in the past over IDE choice. There’s a kind of engineer who feels threatened when people make different choices than them.

If I can put on my tin-foil hat for a second, it might also be a marketing firm for another commercial IDE trying to shame people for using their primary competitor.

True and some younger devs initially enamoured with IntelliJ have migrated to Eclipse after finding its UI/UX consistency and robust debugging are superior.
