From a neutral perspective, which is better, apples or oranges?

Truthfully, nobody can giee a neutral perspective on IDEs that compile
completely different platforms. Eclipse is free and Java. VS.NET is not free
and .NET. If you are compiling a J2EE application, Visual Studio really,
really sucks. But, Eclipse is the same when you are compiling C#.

Hello,
In a neutral perspective, which one is better?

I worked with both, both have pros and cons. But both are very good IDE's.

What's missing most in Visual Studio are things like refactoring where
Eclipse is very good.

But generally, to develop Java, take eclipse, for .NET take Visual Studio.
If you use Visual Studio, think about extending it with ReSharper and it's
perfect.

As others have said, you're in some ways comparing apples with oranges.

Having said that, I'm doing a lot of development in both Java and .NET
at the moment, and I find myself missing Eclipse features when coding
in VS.NET 2003 far more than the other way round. Hopefully VS2005 will
improve this somewhat though...
