The kids are alt-right.

I've been using https://tsed.io/ with great success.

This is a really good analogy.

Nice conspiracy theory.

Yeah. I did end up using Eclipse w/ bndtools. The amdatu project for Intellij is pretty neat too.

The two biggest problems I've had with Intellij IDEA for Java:

1. It's too memory hungry for a project that uses microservices.

2. Lack of official support for OSGi & bndtools (although it looks like almost no one else is using it based on their data).

This actually happened to me recently with hotmail. The forced migration to outlook just deleted everything, with no explanation.

I felt deja vu while reading this post.

I think the internet is less fun now -- I can't decide if its from maturation of technology or maturation of people though. (Has anyone else felt like things became less fun as they got older?)

I felt a greater sense of community 10 years ago when I mostly used IRC and PHP BBs. The communities were smaller, and it was fun even if you disliked people. Flame wars and trolling were mostly for the audience's amusement, because even if you really disliked each other you had nowhere else to go aside from quitting entirely. Nowadays there are so many options that people don't really commit to communities anymore.

I'm glad this thread was posted. It'll be interesting to read people's thoughts.

Reasons I would rather be on Windows 7:

- search stopped working after upgrading - twice it has changed my local account to a Microsoft account without my approval (and failed to sync a password change from online) - after upgrading my computer my copy now requires activation and support says I have to buy a copy since my product key was a 7 one before upgrading
