Neil, I was trying to help. I found out numerous threads concerning very diferent IDEs, with a lot of people for which it was an important problem. The tone was not always the best when I was talking about the tone used by Netbeans devs towards their users, but I said that I was sorry for this. Does not matter, you just keep calling me a troll etc. You who raise points like that it can be important for Intellij but not for Netbeans when we are talking about basic, IDE-independent editor behavior etc.
I will check if you are an influential Netbeans developer and if yes, I will migrate as soon as possible, because I do not want to use an IDE made by people with an aggressive and probably very biased attitude towards me. Not that I care personally, but for practical reasons like a general help and bug fixes. I would like to thank GJ and Rdiez for their help, insightful remarks and a positive tone. I am not willing to continue this thread, thank you. Le mer. 17 oct. 2018 à 12:29, Neil C Smith <[email protected]> a écrit : > On Wed, 17 Oct 2018 at 11:00, R.
