Oracle needs to refocus on Eclipse and leave Visual Code crap alone, focus on Eclipse and kick the enterprise Red Hat yahoos out of the Java space. Red Hat gave up on developers when they split Red Hat into the enterprise version and Fedora garbage.

Eclipse has always been mostly about Red-Hat and IBM, which is what Red-Hat alongside Microsoft use for their VS Code extension.

Now, Quarkus _finally_ got pulled into JakartaEE certification kicking and screaming, however, it has a million out-of-spec features that I see as risky and likely to break in the future... Spring Framework is now big fat and ugly for this reason!
Quarkus's initial philosophy of "Kubernetes first" really isn't such a good rally cry anymore. They've toned down on that, but it does influence the framework to this day.
I think if you program and stick to "just the" Jakarta Spec you are in good hands (which Quarkus now implements, along with other APIs). CDI absolutely rocks and is probably the easiest to write fast code for, but also make it composable so it's very testable.
I'm hoping someday the Apache Foundation (maybe the TomEE crew?) comes out with a leaner competitor to Quarkus, basically something thats "just the cdi container" and you can pull in stuff as needed.
Except that the vast majority of new and even old developers moving to VSCode prefer it over janky 20+ year old IDEs.
I like working on multiple ecosystems and not having to re-learn the wheel for each.
Care to explain ?
