"Modern developers use IDEs, like NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, or even Visual Studio Code. "

I'm curious how can Eclipse, one of the greatest java projects, be omitted? Then I saw the name of JetBrains at the end of the article, and realized that I just read another soft advertisement.

Gosling comes by his preferences or biases in a pretty honest way, by having put thousands of hours of work into Netbeans.

Is Eclipse modern? Do new programmers and projects use it? It has been in decline for years.

The rich client platform is still used for standalone apps, e.g. database-management tool DBeaver.
